Robert Greene

Drawn from 3,000 years of the history of power, this is the definitive guide to help readers achieve for themselves what Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissinger, Louis XIV and Machiavelli learnt the hard way. Law 1: Never outshine the master Law 2: Never put too much trust in friends; learn how to use enemies Law 3: Conceal your intentions Law 4: Always say less than necessary. The text is bold and elegant, laid out in black and red throughout and replete with fables and unique word sculptures. The 48 laws are illustrated through the tactics, triumphs and failures of great figures from the past who have wielded - or been victimised by - power.

The 48 laws of power

The  New York Times Bestseller   Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive,  The 48 Laws of Power  is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.    In the book that  People  magazine proclaimed -beguiling- and -fascinating, - Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.   Some laws teach the need for prudence (-Law 1: Never Outshine the Master-), others teach the value of confidence (-Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness-), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (-Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally-). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package,  The 48 Laws of Power  is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.
