Remember Required Reading In High School? Machiavelli's "The Little Prince"

Don't know about anyone else, but reading this early 16th Century famous book really rattled my progressive advance-placement education - it was an eye-opener then and now timeless testimony to what we now call 'troubled times' . . . This and Dante's Ninth Circle of Hell are a lens on now
