Niccolo Machiavelli
The Prince
Audio CD
(Naxos AudioBooks Aug. 2, 2011)
, Unabridged edition
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.
