Niccolo Machiavelli

Paperback (1 to 2 lbs)

In the four and a half centuries since Machiavelli's death, no single and unanimously accepted interpretation of his ideas has succeeded in imposing itself upon the lively debate over the meaning of his works. Yet there has never been any doubt about the fundamental importance of Machiavelli's contribution to Western political theory.The Portable Machiavelli brings together the complete texts of The Prince, Belfagor, and Castruccio Castracani, newly translated by Peter Bondanella and Mark Musa especially for this volume. In addition, the editors include an abridged version of The Discourses; a play, The Mandrake Root, in its entirety; seven private letters; and selections from The Art of War and The History of Florence.

The Prince Here is the world’s most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor, The Prince even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince...a king...a president. When, in 1512, Machiavelli was removed from his post in his beloved Florence, he resolved to set down a treatise on leadership that was practical, not idealistic. The prince he envisioned would be unencumbered by ordinary ethical and moral values; his prince would be man and beast, fox and lion. Today this small sixteenth-century masterpiece has become essential reading for every student of government and is the ultimate book on power politics. This Bantam Classic edition of The Prince includes selections from Machiavelli’s Discourses as well as an introduction and notes by the translator, Daniel Donno.

The Prince and the Discourses is one of the most influential works in political philosophy, written by Niccolò Machiavelli in the 16th century. The book explores themes of power, leadership, and statecraft, offering practical advice for rulers on maintaining and consolidating power. The Prince is a guide to realpolitik, advocating for pragmatic, often ruthless decisions to ensure political stability. The Discourses, on the other hand, discusses the functioning of republics and the principles of republican governance. Together, these works form the cornerstone of Machiavellian thought, which emphasizes the importance of power dynamics in politics. The 1900 leather-bound edition of The Prince and the Discourses offers a historical artifact for political scholars, students of history, and those interested in understanding the philosophy behind leadership and governance.
