Il contratto sociale
De "Il contratto sociale" Rousseau aveva detto: "Confido che sarà un libro per tutti i tempi". E, di fatto, il pensiero del filosofo ginevrino resta di grande attualità. Egli volle fondare una libera società di uguali, in cui la volontà e la personalità dei singoli trovassero la più alta realizzazione. In cui il popolo fosse l'unico sovrano, e i governanti suoi servi, non padroni. Ancora oggi la sua analisi del patto che lega gli uomini nella società è alla base del moderno concetto di democrazia.

EMMA Jane Austen
Jane Austen • 2020
Collector's Edition featuring illustrations and indexed pages. Complete, unedited and unabridged version. Emma, by Jane Austen, is a novel about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance. As in her other novels, Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian-Regency England; she also creates a lively comedy of manners among her characters.Before she began the novel, Austen wrote, "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like." In the first sentence, she introduces the title character as "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich." Emma is spoiled, headstrong, and self-satisfied; she greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities; she is blind to the dangers of meddling in other people's lives; and her imagination and perceptions often lead her astray.
