      Un killer evita sempre di farsi domande sul conto del proprio bersaglio, che si tratti di un terrorista o di un cittadino qualunque da eliminare su commissione. È questo l’unico credo di Donovan Creed, ex agente della CIA con un debole per le donne e il denaro facile. Sfidare la morte non è mai stato un problema per lui, almeno fino a quando non si trova ad affrontare la missione più folle di sempre. Perché l’amore prima o poi fa breccia anche nel cuore più duro, e, pur di accontentare Kathleen, Donovan si scopre davvero disposto a tutto: anche a prendersi cura del la piccola Addie Dawes, unica sopravvissuta a un terribile incendio che l’ha lasciata orfana. Così, indagando su chi ha appiccato il fuoco a casa Dawes, Creed entra in rotta di collisione con un boss che non esita a mettere sulla sua testa una taglia da un milione di dollari. Una condanna a morte senza via di scampo. Creed, però, è un uomo dalle mille risorse. E se al suo fianco c’è il suo attuale cliente, un ricco nano tetraplegico di una malvagità morbosa e spettacolare, forse Donovan non si troverà ad attraversare le fiamme dell’inferno da solo. Con oltre un milione di copie vendute su Amazon, John Locke è l’autore autopubblicato di maggior successo al mondo. Con Donovan Creed ha creato un personaggio spregiudicato e affascinante destinato a conquistare anche i lettori italiani.

      Exploring the evolution of political thought, this collection includes foundational texts that shaped modern governance. It begins with Hobbes' view of the necessity of a strong central authority, followed by Locke's arguments for natural rights and government by consent. Rousseau's work introduces the concept of collective will and social agreements, while the Constitution of Pennsylvania exemplifies practical application of these theories in establishing a democratic framework. Together, these works highlight the transition from absolute rule to democratic principles.

    • Identité et différence Inséré par Locke dans son Essai philosophique concernant l’entendement humain , le « traité de l’identité » a laissé une trace remarquable du XVIIIe siècle à nos jours. Pour la première fois, il donne un nom aux grandes catégories de la métaphysique du sujet : the consciousness , the self , et les associe étroitement dans une problématique de la « conscience de soi ». Pour que celle-ci déploie ses possibilités et ses conflits latents, il faut cependant un moment spécifique de traduction : la proposition par le huguenot français Pierre Coste de leurs équivalents – « la con-science » et « le soi » –, fournissant à toute la philosophie continentale les moyens de sortir des apories du cartésianisme. Cet événement dont nous sommes encore tributaires, l’invention européenne de la conscience , se trouve ici étudié à travers la réédition des textes de Locke et de Coste, augmentée d’une nouvelle traduction et complétée par un commentaire et un dossier.
