1961年，耶路撒冷地方法院对纳粹战犯、“犹太问题最终解决方案”重要执行者阿道夫•艾希曼开展了一场旷日持久的审判。汉娜•阿伦特就这场审判为《纽约客》写了五篇报告，后集结成书。《艾希曼在耶路撒冷》详细记录了这次引发全球关注的审判的全过程，并结合对大量历史资料的分析，提出了“平庸的恶”的概念。恶的化身未必是狂暴的恶魔，也有可能是平凡、敬业、忠诚的小公务员。艾希曼由于没有思想、盲目服从而犯下的罪并不能以“听命行事”或“国家行为”的借口得到赦免。

A work of striking originality bursting with unexpected insights, The Human Condition is in many respects more relevant now than when it first appeared in 1958. In her study of the state of modern humanity, Hannah Arendt considers humankind from the perspective of the actions of which it is capable. The problems Arendt identified then—diminishing human agency and political freedom, the paradox that as human powers increase through technological and humanistic inquiry, we are less equipped to control the consequences of our actions—continue to confront us today. This new edition, published to coincide with the fortieth anniversary of its original publication, contains an improved and expanded index and a new introduction by noted Arendt scholar Margaret Canovan which incisively analyzes the book's argument and examines its present relevance. A classic in political and social theory, The Human Condition is a work that has proved both timeless and perpetually timely.

Synopsis
In his most famous work, THE PRINCE (Il Principe), Machiavelli described the ideal prince and encouraged the people of Italy to imagine what it might be like if such a person led a unified Italy. Written in 1513 and published posthumously in 1532, THE PRINCE has been interpreted both as a genuine handbook for potential rulers and as a satirical portrait of certain prevailing styles of leadership of the time. Instead of advocating a sense of moral obligation to one's constituents, Machiavelli believed that it is far better for a leader to be feared than liked. He believed that the ends justify the means, and deceit, ruthlessness, and greed are acceptable in the interest of maintaining power. Though THE PRINCE may have influenced Hitler and Mussolini, the Machiavellian principles outlined in it have earned the work a place on many, if not most, lists of required reading for government and political science courses.

Publisher's Note
The most famous book on politics ever written, The Prince remains as lively and as shocking today as when it was written almost five hundred years ago. Initially denounced as a collection of sinister maxims and as a recommendation of tyranny, it has more recently been defended and indeed applauded as the first scientific treatment of politics as it is rather than as it ought to be. A masterpiece of effective prose, The Prince is at once comic and formidable, imaginative and calculating, fascinating and chilling. Its influence in modern history has been profound, and -- often considered to be the first modern book -- it was surely a primary text for the modern philosophers who challenged the traditions of ancient and medieval thought and morality. Harvey C. Mansfield's translation brilliantly recreates the subtlety and terseness of Machiavelli's own prose while presenting an eminently readable text. Written in accessible and idiomatic English, it is the most literal and accurate translation available. In this second edition, Mansfield provides an analytic introduction, an updated bibliography, a chronology of Machiavelli's life, a map of Italy in his time, a substantial glossary, revisions to the translation itself, and Machiavelli's celebrated letter to Vettori in which he discusses The Prince. Mansfield's translation of this classic work, in combination with the new materials added for this edition, makes it the definitive version of The Prince, indispensable to scholars, students, and lovers of the dark art of politics.


Industry reviews
"If you're going into the trade or the business I'm in, Machiavelli's The Prince is the bible. You'd better read it, and you'd better reread it. The wisdom contained in that book stands you in good stead, for the nature of the public policy options that I exercise, and the techniques that are employed, and the assessment of your competition. I would recommend that to be read over, and over, and over, until death."

An inexpensive but high quality translation of the classic Italian Renaissance statement of what has come to be called realpolitik. The translator, Paul Sonnino, presents an easily readable English but also takes care to render Italian words into English cognates or at least to use the same word consistently so the reader gets a sense of what terms and concepts Machiavelli repeated and in what context. Lightly annotated. Paper edition (unseen), $9.95. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

With humorous sagacity and consummate craft, García Márquez traces an exceptional half-century story of unrequited love. Though it seems never to be conveniently contained, love flows through the novel in many wonderful guises--joyful, melancholy, enriching, ever surprising.

民族和民族主义是什么？其本质是什么？它们在历史上是怎样出现的，又经历了怎样的变迁？为何它们能够在今天拥有如此深刻的情感上的正当性？这些都是研究民族和民族主义问题的学者们试图要解答的问题。本书的作者本尼迪克特・安德森以“哥白尼精神“独辟蹊径，从民族情感与文化根源出发探讨了不同民族属性的、全球各地的“想象的共同体“，力图提出一个解释上述关于民族与民族主义问题的新的理论典范。安德森将民族、民族属性与民族主义视为一种“特殊的文化的人造物“，将民族定义为“一种想象的政治共同体“。 他认为这些“想象的共同体“的形成主要取决于以下因素：宗教信仰的领土化、古典王朝家族的衰微、时间观念的改变、资本主义与印刷术之间的交互作用、国家方言的发展等。通过比较史和历史社会学的方法，安德森对民族主义的起源与散布进行了论证：他否定了多数学者所认同的民族主义起源于欧洲的观点，认为18世纪末和19世纪初的南北美洲殖民地独立运动才是“第一波“的民族主义，民族主义是经由美洲而散播至欧洲，再到亚洲和非洲。安德森百科全书式的欧洲史素养与当代东南亚研究权威的背景，以及他对东西方多种语言的掌握能力，使得他的论证更具说服力。《想象的共同体》独辟蹊径的研究视角令它已经成为当代研究民族与民族主义的经典著作，其影响所及几乎横跨所有人文与社会学科，是当代文史社会科学学生必读之书，同时也是理解人类社会诸多现象时，不可或缺的指引。

Generally regarded as the definitive work on totalitarianism, this book is an essential component of any study of twentieth-century political movements. Arendt was one of the first to recognize that Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were two sides of the same coin rather than opposing philosophies of Right and Left. “With the Origins of Totalitarianism Hannah Arendt emerges as the most original and profound-therefore the most valuable-political theoretician of our times” (New Leader).

《大师与玛格丽特》为俄罗斯作家布尔加科夫最重要的作品，被公认为20世纪最伟大的小说之一，是世界级的艺术瑰宝。法国的《理想藏书》对它推崇备至，诺贝尔文学奖得主马尔克斯（魔幻现实主义文学代表人物，《百年孤独》的作者）称它“精妙绝伦”。作家曾八易其稿，将现实与魔幻融为一体，揭示了人性、爱情、公正、善恶有报等主题。
长篇小说《大师与玛格丽特》中有三条主线：魔鬼撒旦造访莫斯科，做了为期两天的逗留，并施展法术大闹了莫斯科；大师与玛格丽特的爱情故事，历经劫难的情侣以特殊的方式终成眷属下令杀害基督耶稣的罗马总督本丢•彼拉多两千年的忏悔。这三条线索彼此穿插交替，通过巧妙的架构和时空的切换，为读者呈现了社会阴暗、丑恶和不合理的本质，同时也讴歌了勇于追求自由和幸福的人性。这部小说此前已有多个中文译本，国内的读者也通常以这三条主线为基础，将小说的中心思想理解为撒旦的惩恶扬善、玛格丽特对爱情的忠贞和罗马总督对怯懦人性的反省。本书译者结合近年来俄罗斯学者的最新研究成果，重新翻译了这部经典名著，并在此基础上增加了35000余字的译注，尝试对这部“旷世奇书”进行全方位的解读。

Published to coincide with the centenary of Tolstoy's death, here is an exciting new edition of one of the great literary works of world literature. Tolstoy's epic masterpiece captures with unprecedented immediacy the broad sweep of life during the Napoleonic wars and the brutal invasion of Russia. Balls and soirées, the burning of Moscow, the intrigues of statesmen and generals, scenes of violent battles, the quiet moments of everyday life--all in a work whose extraordinary imaginative power has never been surpassed. The Maudes' translation of Tolstoy's epic masterpiece has long been considered the best English version, and now for the first time it has been revised to bring it fully into line with modern approaches to the text. French passages are restored, Anglicization of Russian names removed, and outmoded expressions updated. A new introduction by Amy Mandelker considers the novel's literary and historical context, the nature of the work, and Tolstoy's artistic and philosophical aims. New, expanded notes provide historical background and identifications, as well as insight into Russian life and society.
