Mr. Kissinger’s Diplomacy is less about idealism and more about the cold art of survival and influence. He’s not romanticising diplomacy; he’s showing you the raw machinery behind it—balancing power, bluffing, alliances forged and broken in shadows. The book is sharp, pragmatic, and unapologetically realist. Not always flattering, often controversial, but undeniably essential for anyone who wants to understand how the world really works.
Ms. Arendt strips away the romantic illusions of revolution and reveals it as a brutal, unpredictable struggle between ideals and reality while informing us that revolutions don’t just topple regimes, they test the very foundations of what it means to be free. It’s sharp, thoughtful, and utterly relevant in a world that still wrestles with the cost of change.
Nietzsche doesn’t just write philosophy here but he dances on the edge of madness. Zarathustra is a prophet and a wounded soul clawing at the sky, challenging everything we cling to like morality, meaning and the very nature of man. It’s messy, it’s beautiful, it’s infuriating and it demands everything from you. It’s a book that devours you while reshaping the bones of your soul.
On War is a brutal, relentless reckoning with the chaos and contradictions that define conflict. It smashes illusions of glory and strategy. War, Clausewitz argues, is politics stripped raw, a ruthless dance of wills shrouded in fog and cruelty. This book forces you to stare at war’s bloodied face and reckon with the terrible truth that it’s messy, chaotic, and utterly human.
Probably the most accurate depicton of machiavellis ideological stance in politics. He wrote like a man possessed by the fiery spirit of Rome.
This was the book that introduced me to this absolute saint of a man that was Mr. Tolkien. A great man and a great writer too. This is a staple of fantasy and any literate being must read it.
In all honesty. This is probably my favourite fantasy series of all time. Jorg is such an indepth and well written character. Along with all his crew. Mr. Lawrence has breathed life into them effortlessly. The only reason it isnt 5 stars is the ending of this series was too hard to bare after getting attached to the characters.
What can i say. Mr. Orwell is a wizard of his craft. 1984 is one of those pieces of art that are completely timeless. It will stay relevant for eternity for it not only argues against the authoritarian state but also han nature itself as it critiques our willingness to conform, our fear of pain, our hollowing need for meaning, and our capacity for betrayal and self-destruction. It’s less a warning to humanity and more a confession about humanity. Its very similar to Brave new world and We and is just magnificent.
