Lu Jia's New Discourses: A Political Manifesto from the Early Han Dynasty is a readable yet accurate translation by Paul R. Goldin and Elisa Levi Sabattini. Celebrated as "a man-of-service with a mouth skilled] at persuasion", Lu Jia (c. 228-140 BCE) became one of the leading figures of the early Han dynasty, serving as a statesman and diplomat from the very beginning of the Han empire. This book is a translation of Lu Jia's New Discourses, which laid out the reasons for rise and fall of empires. Challenged by the new Emperor to produce a book explaining why a realm that was conquered on horseback cannot also be ruled on horseback, Lu Jia produced New Discourses, to great acclaim.

Proză umoristică - pamflete Ainștain este și va răm ne un personaj. Departe de a fi o personalitate, Ainștain ncearcă să fie la curent cu știrile, se documentează ntre două țuici, comentează așa cum simte și, mai ales, așa cum știe. Nu se enervează niciodată atunci c nd este contrazis și, dacă spune lucrurilor pe nume - ceea ce ncearcă de fiecare dată, lăs nd la o parte calitatea exprimării -, privește bucuros spre ziua de m ine. Acest volum nu este recomandat agramaților, celor pentru care umorul nu mai are nicio valoare și acelora - din ce n ce mai mulți, din păcate - care n-au nvățat ncă să citească (și) printre r nduri.
