About this book
An ambitious candidate launches into an election campaign where strategy, manipulation, and rivalry dictate the rules of the game. Behind public speeches, personal stakes and hidden interests influence every decision. As the tension rises, compromises become inevitable. This novel reveals the backstage of power and political mechanisms. The author offers a realistic and incisive vision of ambition and struggles for influence.
The benefits of the bilingual method with Line-by-line synced layout
Every line of the original has its translation directly beneath it, at the same height. You never lose your place: your eye drops one line and lands on exactly the sentence it just read. This is the layout that lets you open a book in a language you barely know without ever giving up, and compare the two texts almost word for word.
The excerpt shows the method using another book from the catalogue, not this one.
