- Democracy and Education não ficção EnglishDewey's prose is dry, no way around it, but his central idea (that education is growth itself, not preparation for some later life) will quietly rearrange how you think about school, work, even conversation. Read it slowly, arguing with him in the margins; that's the point.
- Discourses on Livy EnglishYou get Machiavelli thinking through how republics preserve liberty, using Rome’s tribunes, public conflict, and political institutions as his working examples. It’s dense and sometimes repetitive rather than easy reading, but rewarding if you enjoy watching a sharp, unsentimental mind test political ideals against history.
- Irish Fairy Tales EnglishYou’ll like the way Stephens makes Irish myth feel mischievous and alive, especially in Fionn’s boyhood, where wisdom arrives through the Salmon of Knowledge rather than solemn instruction. The stories are strange, lyrical, and occasionally abrupt, with gods, warriors, and ordinary people all sharing the same unruly world.
- Khaled EnglishA jinn takes human shape and marries a princess, only to find she doesn't love him, and his soul depends on changing that. Zehowah's cool, logical questions about what love even is are the best part.
- The Deluge EnglishYou follow Andrzej Kmicic, a reckless, compromised nobleman whose swagger keeps colliding with his better instincts, through war, loyalty, and political chaos. It’s long, melodramatic, and proudly Polish, but the battles, reversals, and sheer force of Kmicic’s personality reward you if you settle into its pace.
