The Prince is a political treatise by the Italian diplomat,
historian and political theorist Niccolo Machiavelli. From
correspondence a version appears to have been distributed in 1513,
using a Latin title, De Principatibus (About Principalities).
However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five
years after Machiavelli's death. Niccolo di Bernardo dei
Machiavelli (3 May 1469 - 21 June 1527) was an Italian historian,
diplomat, philosopher, humanist and writer based in Florence during
the Renaissance. A founder of modern political science, he was a
civil servant of the Florentine Republic. He also wrote comedies,
carnival songs, and poetry. His personal correspondence is renowned
in the Italian language. He was Secretary to the Second Chancery of
the Republic of Florence from 1498 to 1512, when the Medicis were
out of power.

First published in 1854, Henry David Thoreau"s groundbreaking
"Walden" has influenced generations of readers and continues to
inspire and inform anyone with an open mind and a love of nature.
There is so much wisdom in Walden, it's impossible to digest it all
even in a dozen readings. Pithy lines and quotes by Henry David
Thoreau tend to the return to the reader over and over again, as
life rolls along. A favorite quote from Thoreau states that he
would be happy to live in a pine box, three feet by six feet, as
long as he could wake up every morning in the middle of nature.
When it came to simplicity and sustainability, Henry David Thoreau
was years ahead of his time. Walden, along with the journals of
Henry David Thoreau, constitute some of the most useful of and
timeless of all American literature.
