Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In The Virtuous Life: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Living, Jaime Pasquier draws on four decades as the founder and CEO of a financial services firm to argue that lasting success - in business and in life - is built not from what we accumulate, but from who we become.Part philosophy, part history…of ideas, this book traces the thinkers who built Western civilization - from Socrates and Aristotle to the scientists and reformers who shaped the modern world - and asks why affluent societies, despite everything they've achieved, so reliably lose their way. The answer is ancient, practical, and urgently needed: the deliberate cultivation of character through wisdom, courage, justice, and self-mastery.For anyone who has achieved what they set out to achieve - and quietly wonders if this is all there is - this is not another productivity system. It is a foundation.The examined life isn't a luxury. It's the only one worth living. "Pasquier writes like someone who has actually wrestled with these ideas across a long career. By the third chapter I had put down my phone and gotten out a notebook. Highly recommended for anyone asking whether the scoreboard they've been keeping is the right one." - Verified Reviewer "The book I didn't know I needed. Pasquier has a gift for making ideas that feel distant become immediately relevant - he doesn't lecture, he reasons, and you find yourself reasoning alongside him. Give it the attention it asks for and it gives back considerably more." - Verified Reviewer This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A Peer of France. A murdered duchess. A death that never happened.In the gray dawn of August 18, 1847, the Duchesse de Choiseul-Praslin was found in her Paris bedroom, her throat cut, her body bearing forty-seven wounds. Her husband - a Peer of France, heir to a name six centuries old - stood…accused. But a public trial would have exposed every secret of a rotting aristocracy, and the most powerful men in France could not allow it. Six days later, the Duke was pronounced dead by his own hand. The scandal helped topple a monarchy. It was also a lie.Behind the sealed coffin, the living Duke was spirited out of France under a dead man's name, in the keeping of a single young guardian - Gaston d'Audiffret-Pasquier, the old Chancellor's heir, bound to carry the secret to the far side of the world. Their road runs from the salons of Paris to the docks of New York and, at last, into the volcano country of Nicaragua - where a murderer must reckon with what, if anything, can be built from the ruins of the man he was.Spanning thirty-five years and two continents, The Last Aristocrats is a sweeping story of guilt, exile, and the fragile hope of redemption: two men living under borrowed names, the families they make and the families they leave behind, and the women who must decide whether to forgive them. Drawn from real history - and from the author's own fifteen-year genealogical search, with its jurist in the Nicaraguan highlands, its nine-year silence in a French family's records, and its unexplained relic on a Normandy mantel - it asks the question no court would answer: can a life spent healing ever weigh against a life taken in violence?The powerful protect their own. The archives burn. But the dead cry out for the truth - long after the living have conspired to bury it.For readers of literary historical fiction - and for anyone moved by the true crime behind Rachel Field's All This, and Heaven Too.

His scandalous masterpiece on desire mapped the territory of attraction with a clarity that has never required re…vision. The technology of love has been replaced a hundred times since. The people using it have not been updated once.The Laws of Desire brings Ovid's unsparing intelligence into the world of dating apps, read receipts, and situationships - the ancient education in attraction, rebuilt for the century we actually live in. For the men: the art of pursuit, and the harder art of keeping. For the women: cultivation, wit, and the transformation real love produces.This is not a system.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Un par de Francia. Una duquesa asesinada. Una muerte que nunca ocurrió.En el alba gris del 18 de agosto de 1847, la duquesa de Choiseul-Praslin fue hallada en su dormitorio de París con la garganta abierta y el cuerpo marcado por cuarenta…y siete heridas. Su esposo -par de Francia, heredero de un nombre de seis siglos- quedó acusado. Pero un juicio público habría dejado al descubierto todos los secretos de una aristocracia podrida, y los hombres más poderosos de Francia no podían permitirlo. Seis días después, se declaró que el duque había muerto por su propia mano. El escándalo contribuyó a derribar una monarquía. También era mentira.Detrás del ataúd sellado, el duque vivo fue sacado de Francia bajo el nombre de un muerto, al cuidado de un solo joven guardián: Gaston d'Audiffret-Pasquier, heredero del viejo canciller, obligado a llevar el secreto hasta el otro extremo del mundo. Su camino va de los salones de París a los muelles de Nueva York y, por fin, a la tierra de volcanes de Nicaragua, donde un asesino deberá enfrentarse a lo que pueda edificarse -si es que algo puede edificarse- sobre las ruinas del hombre que fue.A lo largo de treinta y cinco años y dos continentes, Los últimos aristócratas es una historia arrolladora de culpa, exilio y la frágil esperanza de la redención: dos hombres que viven bajo nombres prestados, las familias que fundan y las que dejan atrás, y las mujeres que deben decidir si perdonarlos. Nacida de la historia real -y de quince años de búsqueda genealógica del propio autor, con su jurista en las montañas de Nicaragua, su silencio de nueve años en los registros de una familia francesa y su reliquia inexplicable sobre una repisa de Normandía-, plantea la pregunta que ningún tribunal quiso responder: ¿puede una vida dedicada a sanar contrapesar alguna vez una vida quitada con violencia Los poderosos protegen a los suyos. Los archivos arden. Pero los muertos claman por la verdad, mucho después de que los vivos hayan conspirado para enterrarla.Para lectores de ficción histórica literaria, y para todo aquel a quien haya conmovido el crimen real que inspiró All This, and Heaven Too, de Rachel Field.
