| | 1. |  | The Art of War
from Tantor Media
Price: $17.25
Customer Review:
The Art of War is overrated in relation to more recent works, notably The Prince, On War, and The Book of Five Rings, and many Roman and Greek texts could be mentioned, for differing reasons.
The Prince was written during the tumult of the cultural and linguistic formation of early Italy (as... more info

from audible.com
Price: $15.73
Customer Review:
I loved this book. I found it fascinating...tragic...hauntingly beautiful. I recommended it to a friend and she also loved it. It's a story that stayed with me for many weeks after I finished it. It was not at all what I expected as a "love story" in the traditional way, and thank goodness, because... more info

| | 3. |  | 1421: The Year China Discovered America
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.85
Customer Review:

| | 9. |  | The Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.88
Customer Review:
Not being interested in Christian missionary work in China, I had resisted reading this book for years. That was a terrible mistake and another example of how you can't judge a book by its cover or title. The Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci is not so much a book about Matteo Ricci or missionaries as... more info
