This volume includes seven of the most frequently assigned Non fiction books at seven Ivy League schools — Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Columbia, U. Penn and Brown (according to the Washington Post). When you go through the list, and specially, if you start reading the books, you realize they are some of the deepest and profoundest books ever written, full of a wisdom and knowledge -sometimes controversial- that must be a requirement for every human being, not only Ivy-League students. The classics are:

The Republic By Plato

Leviathan By Thomas Hobbes

The Prince By Nicolo Machiavelli

Democracy In America By Alexis De Tocqueville

Manifesto Of The Communist Party By Karl Marx And Friedrich Engels

On Liberty By John Stuart Mill

The Ethics By Benedict De Spinoza
