This book is so full of twists and turns, philosophy on top of history, mixed in with morality, Tales and religions it can be quite intersting, I could not absorb a bit of it, but the pages are full of characters of the past, philosophers and monarchy, anarchy, etc.
P.S. I do have one other copy listed, both are in really good shape and are equal in minimal usage marks.

I am afraid I cannot say that I did not read this, but it is true. I glanced through chapters and certain sections, and they were heavy with deep descripted thoughts and philosophy that I don't think I'm the right one for this book. It is a classic, very well written, and deeply engrossing.
