The Prince (Penguin Classics),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Machiavelli's highly influential treatise on political powerThe Prince shocked Europe on publication with its advocacy of ruthless tactics for gaining absolute power and its abandonment of conventional morality. Niccol Machiavelli drew on his own experience of office under the turbulent Florentine republic, rejecting traditional values of political theory and recognizing the complicated, transient nature of political life. Concerned not with lofty ideal but with a regime that would last, The Prince has become the bible of realpolitik, and it still retains its power to alarm and to instruct. In this edition, Machiavelli's toughminded and pragmatic Italian is preserved in George Bull's clear, unambiguous translation.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the Englishspeaking world.
