Every people was given a sacred Book of Faith in its time – for the search for the highest truth and the meaning of life. And the Book of Power – to manage order on earth. Thousands of years and...
thousands of kilometers separate three great books, created by wise men from different countries and eras: the "Book of the Ruler of the Shang Region" by the Chinese official Shang Yang, "Politics" by Aristotle, and "The Prince" by Machiavelli, but they resonate surprisingly well in the main idea. Each of these books inspired rulers at their time to great achievements and changes, sent hundreds and thousands of people into battle, raised great powers, and destroyed others.
The wisdom of these books is treacherous and immortal. In them lies the secret of subjugating the people and increasing the power of the state, the cunning of politics and the art of strength. Thanks to these treatises, the Great Qin Empire, the state of Alexander the Great, and a unified and strong Italy became possible.
"The people value a successful ruler more than a virtuous one," asserts Niccolò Machiavelli, but history has proven a thousand times that only prudence and humanity make a ruler truly great.
For the first time in Russia, all the "Books of Power" are collected in one volume. And those rulers who seek wisdom and strength, as well as are determined to glorify their state and people, will inevitably turn to this luxurious edition.
