He accepts that he will always despise the people he writes for, networks within the appropriate social circle to create opportunity, and authors articles for popular periodicals.

In the town there was a shoemaker by the name of Martin, who lived in a basement with a tiny little window looking out into the street.

Martin had lived in that basement for many a long year and had numbers of acquaintances.

Tom Thumb
¥40.79
Long ago, in the merry days of good King Arthur, there lived a ploughman and his wife. They were very poor, but would have been contented and happy if only they could have had a little child. One day, having heard of the great fame of the magician Merlin, who was living at the Court of King Arthur, the wife persuaded her husband to go and tell him of their trouble. Having arrived at the Court, the man besought Merlin with tears in his eyes to give them a child, saying that they would be quite content even though it should be no bigger than his thumb. Merlin determined to grant the request, and what was the countryman’s astonishment to find when he reached home that his wife had a son, who, wonderful to relate, was no bigger than his father’s thumb!
Zur Genealogie der Moral
¥8.82
Das Werk, das aus einer Vorrede und drei ?Abhandlungen“ besteht, geh?rt zu den einflussreichsten Schriften Nietzsches. Er legte hier keine Aphorismen vor wie in den meisten anderen seiner Werke, sondern l?ngere, systematische Texte mit durchaus wissenschaftlichem Anspruch: Er stellt darin soziologische, historische und psychologische Thesen auf. Nietzsche wollte anders als klassische Moralphilosophen keine Moral herleiten oder begründen, sondern die geschichtliche Entwicklung und die psychischen Voraussetzungen bestimmter moralischer Wertvorstellungen nachvollziehen. Er fragt also nicht, wie die Menschen handeln sollten, sondern warum Menschen (Einzelne oder Gruppen) glauben, sie sollten auf bestimmte Weise handeln, oder andere dazu bringen wollen, so oder so zu handeln.

Adam Smith (1723-1790) este p?rintele g?ndirii economice moderne. ?n volumul de fa?? au fost culese c?teva dintre cele mai importante capitole din lucrarea care a marcat ?nceputurile disciplinare ale unui domeniu pentru care ast?zi se acord? Premiul Nobel, dar ?i paragraful care ofer? cititorului o explica?ie sintetic? a conceptului pentru care autorul va r?m?ne ?n istorie: m?na invizibil?. Chiar daca unele concepte-cheie ale teoriei g?nditorului sco?ian par dep??ite, ?n esen?a observa?iile ?i explica?iile sale privitoare la natura economic? a socialului r?m?n c?t se poate de subtile ?i conving?toare.
Pagini de istorie american?
¥46.36
Aceasta este prima lucrare scris? ?n limba rom?n? care se concentreaz? asupra operei lui Thomas Kuhn, probabil cel mai influent filosof al ?tiin?ei din ultima jum?tate a secolului trecut. ?n particular, lucrarea analizeaz? ?n detaliu, ?ntr-o manier? original?, o idee foarte provocatoare a filosofului american, teza incomensurabilit??ii conceptuale, conform c?reia, ?n dezvoltarea cunoa?terii ?tiin?ifice, teoriile noi utilizeaz? un limbaj ireductibil la cel al teoriilor anterioare. Totodat?, lucrarea se apleac? ?ntr-o manier? sistematic? asupra conceptului de paradigm?, introdus de Kuhn, care avea s? fie utilizat ulterior pe scar? larg? ?n filosofie ?i ?tiin?ele sociale.

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) este cunoscut publicului larg ca autor al C?l?toriilor lui Gulliver. A fost considerat de mul?i un mizantrop des?v?r?it, de?i a f?cut parte din clerul Bisericii Anglicane. Va r?m?ne ?ns? ?n istorie ca primul pamfletar de limba englez?. Povestea unui poloboc este cea mai consistent? lucrare de acest gen, de care ?nsu?i autorul s-a declarat ?ntotdeauna foarte satisf?cut. ?n aceast? ?poveste“ satiristul irlandez ne propune o ingenioas? alegorie, ?n egal? m?sur? un atac la adresa bisericilor occidentale care au pervertit p?n? la desfigurare credin?a mo?tenit? de la biserica primar? ?i la adresa modelor care au infestat at?t operele spiritului, c?t ?i discursul teologic.Pus? la index la vremea apari?iei ei de regina Ana a Angliei din cauza nest?p?nitelor ?arje la adresa papismului ?i a puritanismului britanic, considerat? un text ?reac?ionar“ ?n Rom?nia epocii lui Ceau?escu, aceast? carte nu este, cu siguran??, o lectur? confortabil?, dar r?m?ne una dintre cele mai spumoase ?i mai fine satire scrise vreodat?.
Emile

Walden
¥40.79
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.
The Doctrine of the Mean
¥40.79
The Doctrine of the Mean is a text rich with symbolism and guidance to perfecting oneself. The person who follows the mean is on a path of duty and must never leave it. A superior person is cautious, a gentle teacher and shows no contempt for his or her inferiors.
The Spanish Wars
¥40.79
On the defeat of Pharnaces and reduction of Africa, those who escaped from those battles fled to young Cn. Pompey, who had taken possession of Further Spain, while Caesar was detained in Italy in exhibiting games. Pompey began to throw himself on the protection of every state, in order the more readily to establish the means of defense against him. Accordingly, with a considerable force which had been collected, partly by entreaty, partly by force, he began to lay waste the province. Under these circumstances some states voluntarily sent him supplies, others shut the gates of their towns against him. If any of these chanced to fall into his hands by assault, although some citizen in it had deserved well of Cn. Pompey (his father), yet some cause was alleged against him on account of the greatness of his wealth, so that, he being dispatched, his fortune might become the reward of the soldiers.
The Civil Wars, Book 2
¥40.79
While these things were going forward in Spain, Caius Trebonius, Caesar's lieutenant, who had been left to conduct the assault of Massilia, began to raise a mound, vineae, and turrets against the town, on two sides; one of which was next the harbor and docks, the other on that part where there is a passage from Gaul and Spain to that sea which forces itself up the mouth of the Rhone. For Massilia is washed almost on three sides by the sea, the remaining fourth part is the only side which has access by land.

庄子故事
¥12.99
庄子的思想不是平空而来的,他率性而活,与天地精神往来。他的那些特立独行的选择与行为,都是自己率真任情的心性反映。他的浪漫、超脱和真性情,他超然于世的精神追求,对于现代社会的我们而言,仍然是弥足珍贵的精神财富。他告诉我们:逍遥之人精神自由,在黑暗中始终能看见光亮…… 本书是一位北大才子以生命和灵魂写就的遗世经典,语言优美,哲思表达深入浅出,生动的故事叙说,详实的资料杂糅,让人明白他所有的思想来源于他的人生实践与深度思考。本书一改以往传统古典的风格,带给我们更适合现代人的精神修炼方式,自1992年首次出版以来,畅销二十余年,多次入选语文教材,是一部优秀的集文学性、学术性为一体的青少年传统文化读本,被读者赞誉为庄子经典
王阳明:一切心法(全两册)(一本让你真正走进王阳明的大书,罗辑思维创始人罗振宇赞赏推荐,中国当代思想隐士熊逸,沉浸十年心血力作
¥18.99
王阳明:一切心法(全2册) ,分别是《王阳明:一切心法(上册)》和《王阳明:一切心法(下册)》。 普通读者罕有知道,王阳明原是一个被翻案的奸佞。《明实录》里的王阳明不但奸邪,还很有几分色厉内荏的丑态,是一个墙头草一般的投机分子。他纵兵屠城,窃夺他人战功,散布异端邪说蛊惑人心,以邪教教主的姿态享受着信徒的阿谀与供奉。 乃至清朝编修《明史》,才算是以新一代的官修正史为王阳明做了正式的翻案。而在王阳明弟子们谦卑写就的私史里,他又仿佛头顶光环的圣徒,有神鬼莫测之能,每每还有灵异的奇遇。 于是我们每个人对王阳明的态度,往往取决于自己对史料的采信方式以及认知误区之有无或多寡。是的,这本身就是一件很有趣、很耐人寻味的事情。
梁冬说庄子·德充符
¥9.99
《德充符》基本上讲的是一些长得可能也不是很好看,身体也不是很健全,也没有什么钱,但却超级有魅力的人的故事。 在《德充符》里,庄子塑造了一个又一个现实社会中的所谓不堪者,并赋予他们精神的能量:国王请他们当宰相,他们不去;女人自己送上门来,他们不要;男人追随他们,他们也不允许。就连当时已经是超级大V、万众青年创业领袖的孔子,也觉得他们了不起。 这个世上,有种人既不受制于自己的形象,也不受制于自己的情绪,更不受制于自己过往的历史,甚至不受制于别人对他的看法,身上拥有一种特别的定力——朴素得起,安静得起。这就是“德充符”里的人。
