Records

Fracesco Guichardii (1483-1540), a fried, but also a critic of Machiavelli, is a promiet Reaissace politicia, a great historia ad origial thiker. He is a author who has to take a decet place i our library ad memory. He is't curretly very reowed ad is little appreciated i Bulgaria; if his ame at all speaks aythig, it is most ofte obscured by Machiavelli's. This release aims to get Guicciardii out of the shadow ad stad alogside his fellow coutryma ad fried.

Writte at the begiig of the "great movemet", with which moderity begis, Records (a collectio of 221 brief thoughts - observatios, reflectios ad advises for political ad life activities) strike with their subtle isight ad itimidatig up-to-date. We hear their voice ad lesso i the attempts of Mote ad Baco, i the advice of Grassia ad Mazarii, i the thoughts of Rivarol ad Leopardi, i Claudewitz ad Tocqueville's reflectios, i Juger ad Schmidt's jourals, i the otes of Oakwood ad Gomez Davila. Records ca still be vade mecum today for the strivig for ier equilibrium ad efficiet actio i this world. I ay case, their readig is ever i vai: they cool the excitemet, scatter the misery, sharpe thikig." - Vladimir Gradev
