  • The Prince

    Niccolò Machiavelli

    language (NM Press, June 18, 2020)
    "The Prince" is a political treatise by the Florentine public servant and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. Originally called De Principatibus (About Principalities), it was written in 1513, but not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. The treatise is not representative of the work published during his lifetime, but it is the most remembered, and the work responsible for bringing "Machiavellian" into wide usage as a pejorative term. It has also been suggested by some critics that the piece is, in fact, a satire.

  • The Prince

    Niccolo' Machiavelli

    eBook (GIANLUCA, Dec. 9, 2017)
    “The Prince” is considered one of the first works of modern philosophy, especially in modern political philosophy, in which the effective truth is considered more important than any abstract ideal. It is also in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of time on how to consider politics and ethics.
