    Niccolo Machiavelli, Dmitry Kuznetsov, IDDK

    "О военном искусстве" - трактат Никколо Макиавелли, жанр военное дело, военная история. Никколо Макиавелли (1469 - 1527) - итальянский мыслитель, философ, писатель, политический деятель - занимал во Флоренции пост секретаря второй канцелярии, отвечал за дипломатические связи республики, автор военно-теоретических трудов. Выступал сторонником сильной государственной власти, для укрепления которой допускал применение любых средств, что выразил в прославленном труде "Государь", опубликованном в 1532 году. Трактат "О военном искусстве" - единственное политическое сочинение автора, опубликованное при жизни. С большой глубиной и присущим Макиавелли умением, автор анализирует военное искусство своего времени, определяя те пути развития, по которым оно должно идти в будущем. Знание истории, прекрасная ориентация в вопросах политических и глубина понимания чисто военного дела позволяют Макиавелли поднять ряд очень интересных вопросов об организации и применении вооруженных сил не только в рамках того времени, когда он жил, но и вне их, в условиях новых государственных образований и иных технических средств. Это произведение было рекомендовано в качестве учебного пособия для русской армии. Please note: This audiobook is in Russian.

    Paperback (Independently published, April 24, 2019)
    he Art of War (Italian: Dell'arte Della Guerra) is a treatise by the Italian Renaissance political logician and history specialist Niccolò Machiavelli. The arrangement of The Art of War is a Socratic exchange. The reason, pronounced by Lord Fabrizio Colonna (maybe Machiavelli's persona) at the beginning, "To respect and reward virtù, not to have scorn for neediness, to regard the modes and requests of military control, to oblige natives to cherish each other, to live without groups, to regardless the private than the open great." To these finishes, Machiavelli notes in his prelude, the military resembles the top of a palazzo securing the substance.Composed somewhere in the range of 1519 and 1520 and distributed the next year, it was Machiavelli's solitary authentic or political work printed amid his lifetime, however, he was named official student of the history of Florence in 1520 and endowed with minor common obligations.

    Paperback (Independently published, July 21, 2017)
    The Art of War (Dell'arte della guerra), is one of the lesser-read works of Florentine statesman and political philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli. The format of 'The Art of War' was in socratic dialogue. The purpose, declared by Fabrizio (Machiavelli's persona) at the outset, "To honor and reward virtù, not to have contempt for poverty, to esteem the modes and orders of military discipline, to constrain citizens to love one another, to live without factions, to esteem less the private than the public good." To these ends, Machiavelli notes in his preface, the military is like the roof of a palazzo protecting the contents. Written between 1519 and 1520 and published the following year, it was the only historical or political work printed during Machiavelli's lifetime, though he was appointed official historian of Florence in 1520 and entrusted with minor civil duties.

    Niccolò Machiavelli

    Paperback (Independently published, Feb. 26, 2020)
    As I believe that it is possible for one to praise, without concern, any man after he is dead since every reason and supervision for adulation is lacking, I am not apprehensive in praising our own Cosimo Ruccelai, whose name is never remembered by me without tears, as I have recognized in him those parts which can be desired in a good friend among friends and in a citizen of his country. For I do not know what pertained to him more than to spend himself willingly, not excepting that courage of his, for his friends, and I do not know of any enterprise that dismayed him when he knew it was for the good of his country. And I confess freely not to have met among so many men whom I have known and worked with, a man in whom there was a mind more fired with great and magnificent things. Nor does one grieve with the friends of another of his death, except for his having been born to die young unhonored within his own home, without having been able to benefit anyone with that mind of his, for one would know that no one could speak of him, except (to say) that a good friend had died. It does not remain for us, however, or for anyone else who, like us, knew him, to be able because of this to keep the faith (since deeds do not seem to) to his laudable qualities.

  • The Art Of War & The Prince

    Niccolò Machiavelli

    Paperback (Independently published, Sept. 11, 2020)
    This extraordinary Volume puts together two booksThe Prince,The Art of War,Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli was an Italian Renaissance diplomat, philosopher and writer, best known for The Prince (Il Principe), written in 1513. He has often been called the father of modern political philosophy or political science.Machiavelli's name came to evoke unscrupulous politicians of the sort Machiavelli advised most famously in The Prince. Machiavelli considered political battles, not through a lens of morality, but as though they are a board game with established rules. His experience showed him that politics have always been played with deception, treachery and crime. He also notably said that a ruler who is establishing a kingdom or a republic, and is criticized for his deeds, including violence, should be excused when the intention and the result is beneficial.Machiavelli’s Prince was much read as a manuscript long before it was published in 1532 and the reaction was mixed. Some considered it a straightforward description of "the evil means used by bad rulers; others read in it evil recommendations to tyrants to help them maintain their power."
