Introduction by Dominic Baker-Smith

 

That Machiavelli's name has become synonymous with cold-eyed political calculation only heightens the intrinsic fascination of The Prince-the world's preeminent how-to manual on the art of getting and keeping power, and one of the literary landmarks of the Italian Renaissance. Written in a vigorous, straightforward style that reflects its author's realism, this treatise on states, statecraft, and the ideal ruler is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how human society actually works.

The Prince

bb44e0a2-9c39-436b-a2bd-b6651ead59bd-1

NiccolÃ² Machiavelli; Harvey C. Mansfield (Translator)

Wisconsin

Born in 1469, Niccolo Machiavelli undertook diplomatic missions to various courts, before his imprisonment and exile. To quote his own words, this book discusses what a principality is, what kinds there are, how they can be acquired, how they can be kept and why they are lost.

Second Edition

Mansfield's translation of this classic work, in combination with the new material added for this edition, makes it the definitive version of The Prince, indispensable to scholars, students, and lovers of the dark art of politics.
