The Social Contract: Gilded Pocket Edition
The Social Contract is one of the most influential studies of political philosophy ever made, presenting a radical vision of how society should be organised to ensure the liberty and equality of its citizens. Arguing against the 'divine right' of the monarchy, Rousseau instead claims that state should be governed by the collective will of the people and their shared interests. It is only through this 'social contract' that man can be free. Rousseau's ideas influenced both the French and American Revolutions and created the foundations of the liberal democratic societies that exist today.

The Analects of Confucius: Gilded Pocket Edition
Confucius provides a moral code by which each one of us should live based on ideals of responsibility, respect, kindness, and honesty - qualities as relevant and sought-after today as they were 2,500 years ago. His principles continue to shape Eastern philosophy, politics, and culture.

This pocket-sized gift edition contains the classic translation by William Edward Soothill and an introduction by John Baldock. It is elegantly presented with a gold embossed cover design, ivory pages, beautifully designed endpapers and gold gilded page edges. Part of the Arcturus Ornate Classics series, this book makes wonderful gift for any lover of classic fiction.
