    Niccolò Machiavelli, W K Mariott

    Hardcover (Ancient Wisdom Publications, Sept. 15, 2017)
    The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise by the Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. From correspondence a version appears to have been distributed in 1513, using a Latin title, De Principatibus (About Principalities). However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. This was done with the permission of the Medici pope Clement VII, but "long before then, in fact since the first appearance of The Prince in manuscript, controversy had swirled about his writings". Although it was written as if it were a traditional work in the mirrors for princes style, it is generally agreed that it was especially innovative. This is only partly because it was written in the vernacular Italian rather than Latin, a practice which had become increasingly popular since the publication of Dante's Divine Comedy and other works of Renaissance literature.

    Niccolo Machiavelli, Patrick Cullen

    Audio CD (Blackstone Audiobooks, April 1, 2006)
    Here is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor, The Prince is 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. Through the years, The Prince has been misunderstood to the extent that Machiavelli's name has become synonymous with unscrupulous political behavior. However, it remains essential reading as the ultimate book on power politics. Included are selections from Machiavelli's Discourses upon the First Ten Books of Titus Livy.

    Audio CD (Naxos AudioBooks, Aug. 2, 2011)
    The Prince is a treatise that systematically charts the best strategies for successful governing. It unapologetically places realism above idealism, showing would-be kings how to get what they want while appearing to be generous and honourable, and advocates that the means cruelty, duplicity and horror justify the ends of secure monarchical rule. But it can also be read as the work of a secret republican subtly undermining the despotism of the ruling Medici family.

    Niccolo Machiavelli, Grover Gardner

    Audio CD (Dreamscape Media, Sept. 20, 2016)
    From his perspective in Renaissance Italy, Machiavelli's aim in this classic work was to resolve conflict with the ruling prince, Lorenzo de Medici. Machiavelli based his insights on the way people really are rather than an ideal of how they should be. This 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, or a president. When 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

    Niccolo Machiavelli, Sasa Milic, Dragan Nikolic, Jelena Milic, Ninian Thomson, N. Thomson

    language (, March 17, 2015)
    As a young Florentine envoy to the courts of France and the Italian principalities, Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) was able to observe firsthand the lives of people strongly united under one powerful ruler. His fascination with that political rarity and his intense desire to see the Medici family assume a similar role in Italy provided the foundation for his "primer for princes." In this classic guide to acquiring and maintaining political power, Machiavelli used a rational approach to advise prospective rulers, developing logical arguments and alternatives for a number of potential problems, among them governing hereditary monarchies, dealing with colonies and the treatment of conquered peoples. Refreshing in its directness, yet often disturbing in its cold practicality, The Prince sets down a frighteningly pragmatic formula for political fortune. Starkly relevant to the political upheavals of the 20th century, this calculating prescription for power remains today, nearly 500 years after it was written, a timely and startling lesson in the practice of autocratic rule that continues to be much read and studied by students, scholars and general readers as well.

    Nicolo Machiavelli (as Translated by W. K. Marriott)

    Audio CD (IDB Productions, Aug. 16, 2010)
    The Prince, by Niccolo Machiavelli, is one of the most read political treatises in the history of man. Written in 1513, Machiavelli wrote the treatise during a time of great political conflict in Italy. Using his philosophical beliefs as a basis, he scribed an informative exposition that details methods an hopeful or existing prince can use to acquire or maintain his throne. The Prince contains ten sections written to help states understand how to control their principalities and maintain power by means of force. The treatise also details methods to gain further power, also through force. The first section covers Defense and Military. Machiavelli teaches states how to defend themselves and the most efficient way to attack and gain power. The second section speaks about the Reputation of a Prince; Machiavelli writes that “a man who strives after goodness in all his acts is sure to come to ruin, since there are so many men who are not good.” Therefore, a prince should not worry about being perceived as good, but rather be concerned about what is best for his state. Further sections concern topics like Generosity versus Parsimony, Cruelty versus Mercy (it is safer to be feared than loved), In What Way Princes should Keep Their Word, Avoiding Contempt and Hatred, Gaining Honors, Nobles and Staff, Avoiding Flatterers, and Fortune. The Prince has influenced many political leaders and philosophers, including Napoleon, Mussolini, and Stalin. The book is the root of the term “Machiavellian” which means “suggestive of or characterized by expediency, deceit, and cunning.” Nevertheless, it is apparent that whatever Machiavelli’s intentions, he did believe in a strong, powerful central government and The Prince mirrors his probable philosophical ideals.
