el penúltimo Potter.......2007-08-24

Me gustó mucho, como toda la serie en general, aunque creo que mis preferidos son los primeros de la serie.
Admiro la creatividad de la escritora.
En general no me gusta esta corriente de buscar en Harry Potter toda una serie de aspectos ocultos:similitudes con los recursos del servicio de seguridad británico? discusiones en universidades sobre su posible final?.
Creo que no debe pedirse a estos libros más de lo que pueden dar, unos muy gratos momentos de esparcimiento, para disfrutar sin necesidad de hacer un análisis de ellos cual si fueran la pista para descifrar los misterios del mundo.

Se acerca el final (apenas faltan dos meses para Julio 2007 pero parece una eternidad). ya no es tan fácil librarse de vol... you-know-who. el desenlace no me lo esperaba, mis ojos no podían creer quien parece ser "el malo de la película" ojo, tengo 36 años recién cumplidos y les digo que un poco de fantasía me viene bien en estos tiempos del "cólera" (si les gusta Gabo, ahi tienen otro buen libro :)

Just a book for children.......2007-01-18

It is a good for children, big fantasy, nothing real

El escenario esta servido para el curso final.......2006-07-18

Buen libro. Definitivamente mejor que la quinta entrega. Aqui se desvela el misterio de Snape. Lo unico reprochable es que la explicacion de por que Dumbledore creia en Severus Snape, es demasiado escueta y de verdad no le encuentras ninguna clase de logica. Se habla poco o casi nada de los Dursley, supongo que sera la misma tonica de la ultima parte. Si te lo preguntas, pues, no hablan nada de Sirius Black (el quinto libro deja una pequeña duda en relacion a como se puede comunicar Harry con el en el arco)

Wow!.......2006-11-05

As someone who was an English Lit major and an obsessed poker player, I can't think of a better book than Mr. Apostolico's Machiavellian Poker Strategy. I loved it! A real thinking man's approach based on one of the most compelling books of all time. Mr. Apostolico has written many great books, which I implore you to get. But, personally, this is my favorite.

An Excellent "Novella" to Brush up on Your Italian.......2007-04-17

Il Piccolo Principe, or "the Little Prince," is a classic for those trying to brush up on whatever language they are interested in. I found this translation (from the original French) to be a particularly clear, enjoyable read.

Living in a turbulent time in Florence in the late 1400s and early 1500s, Machiavelli was a statesman who took a special interest in observing the distinct intelligence that made certain rulers successful. The Prince is one of the definitive statements of power and control and is based on what he saw, not what he felt or imagined.

For first time readers of The Prince.......2004-06-10

Clearly, in my opinion, this book should be purchased along with 'The Prince' for first time readers of the book. One may think 'The Prince' is rather dull and boring, yet the CliffNotes will open a reader's eyes to never before seen comments on what makes 'The Prince' one of the greatest books (letters) ever written on leadership.

A nice teaching aid.......2007-06-02

I always thought Machiavelli was over-rated and generally provided ideas that would, in the long run, prove to be counter-productive. Kreeft, a master of Socratean logic, provides both a presentation of Machiavelli's perspective and an application of logic that corroborates my thinking. Naturally, then, I like this small booklet. ;)

The best use of this book is after studying the logic of Socrates (it will give you an example of its application) and reading "The Prince" (so you get a chance to form your own judgment). You may find yourself re-reading sections so as to get better clarity of how logic builds on itself. The book is small enough to allow that without feeling like you are falling behind and will never get through it.

This book is amazing.......2007-05-18

I don't have time to go into much detail. I do want to write that I read this book in two sittings. It was very enlightening. I was able to finish my mid-term essay on Machiavelli and Plato using this book as one of my resources.
I highly recommend this book to all philosophy students--or those just interested in philosophy or politics.

An enjoyable little pamphlet.......2003-08-16

This was a thoroughly enjoyable little book, and the first I read in Kreeft's series. The funny thing I found in this pamphlet is the personalities of the characters are the exact opposite of what I expected. Both fellows I've always suspected were a bit mental. You may remember Socrates standing in the middle of a street for several hours deep in thought. The Socrates in the book would more likely have stepped into a Starbucks, looking less conspicuous. There are some emotional moments where at one point I was in shock. At other times, I would break out in laughter. Because Machi is a funny guy. I look forward to future volumes one of which was mentioned by Socrates. I was thinking it would be great to see Socrates cross-examine Neitzsche, but Kreeft mentioned another philosopher whom Socrates would meet--Kant. I can't wait.

Book Description

El PrÃncipe, de NicholÃ¡s Maquiavelo (1469-1527), es una obra clÃ¡sica en materia polÃticay de gran trascendencia dentro de la cultura occidental. Maquiavelo es, ademÃ¡s de un gran teÃ³rico del pensamiento polÃtico, uno de los grandes prosistas en lengua italiana del s. XVI.

Atacado por muchos y defendido tambiÃ©n con firmeza, Maquiavelo nos demuestra su talento de escritor y la forma de conseguir y mantener el poder.

Con esta obra, escrita cuando ya se habÃa retirado de la vida pÃºblica, Maquiavelo presenta su genio, eminentmente prÃ¡ctico.

Essential reading in any language.......2007-02-24

If my Spanish were better, I would be a better judge on the comments about this being a poor translation. Having read it in English, and now plowing slowly through it in Spanish, I find it enlightening, for the second language opens up new meanings. Machiavelli did not advocate the things he wrote about, he merely chronicled what he saw, and advised his Prince of ways others had come to power, clung to power, and abused power. He was the political genius of his day, and no education today is complete without having read and studied him in at least one language.

WARNING.......2004-07-18

Hey! It's friggin' Spanish!

Just thought you should know before you took the plunge.

Para entender por que estamos tan mal..........2003-10-25

Definitivamente, muchos gobernantes, funcionarios, politicos, hombres de empresa, etc. han tomado a El Principe como un manual. Si alguna vez nos hemos preguntado por que las obras de los politicos no terminan de traer el bien comun en la mayoria de los paises, aqui encontraremos una parte de la respuesta. Para resumir el libro en una frase, Maquiavelo dice que el fin justifica los medios. La crueldad, la perfidia y la intriga son medios para que el gobernante conserve e incremente el Estado. Leer directamente EL PRINCIPE de Maquiavelo, nos puede dejar con un malestar interno, asi que para digerirlo mejor y entender a Maquiavelo, recomiendo leerlo junto con el espectacular ensayo NICOLAS MAQUIAVELO EN SU QUINTO CENTENARIO por ANTONIO GOMEZ ROBLEDO. Este ensayo viene como prologo a la edicion de EL PRINCIPE de Editorial Porrua (Mexico).

Amazing.......2000-08-05

I am a frequent consumer of the so called sub-literature (like most teenagers), but forgive me my dear friends Anne Rice, Marion Bradley, Stephen King, Sidney Sheldon, etc... I love your work, but finally I found myself reading a DECENT and INTELLIGENT and USEFUL book by a genious called Maquiavelo. "The Prince" deserves to be used as a manual, not barely read... I don't say it should be followed blindly, though it should be mentally discussed by all. ESSENTIAL READING !

Maquiavelo... algunas veces mal interpretado..........2000-04-14

En la obra de Maquiavelo se refleja el pensamiento del Renacimiento en su forma más original, libre y abierto despojado de toda preocupación metafísica, dirigido totalmente a observar la realidad humana y describir científicamente las normas y los fines inmediatos que regulan y orientan su desarrollo. El príncipe debe estar dispuesto a obrar contra la fe, contra la religión, si el fin así lo requiere.
