The Book of Power: How to Acquire It and (Never) Let It Go "He who can do what he wants without punishment, rules." Sallust
In fifteen days and nights, the frail vizier of the Ottoman Empire explains the strategies of ruling to his nephew and successor. This is the framework for Stojan Michailowski's "Book for the Bulgarian People," created in 1897 and until now untranslated. Ilija Trojanow retells this grand poem in his own language and accompanies his narrative with a chorus of voices from significant theorists of power. These include classics of political world literature from Persia and ancient Greece, from China and Japan, Machiavelli and Shakespeare, as well as contemporary authors. Thus, a cabinet of wonders has emerged for reflecting on the nature of power – and on how we can protect ourselves from its dangers.
Ilija Trojanow, born in 1965 in Sofia, lives in Vienna when he is not traveling. The work of the reporter, political columnist, and acclaimed bestselling author has received numerous awards.
