Description
Niccolò Machiavelli: A Comprehensive Life and Thought This authoritative biography provides a colorful and comprehensive account of the life and work of Niccolò Machiavelli, author of The Prince. Corrado Vivanti, a leading scholar of Machiavelli's thought, offers an unparalleled intellectual biography that explores the connections between Machiavelli's ideas and his changing fortunes during the tumultuous Florentine republic. The book covers not only Machiavelli's most famous works, including The Prince, The Discourses, and The Art of War, but also his letters, poetry, and comic dramas. Vivanti's narrative breaks Machiavelli's life into three parts, tracing his career in government and diplomatic posts, the formulation of his influential ideas during exile, and his final decade of writing. A vivid human portrait of the man emerges alongside a dramatic backdrop of war, crisis, and diplomatic intrigue, offering an unmatched account of many intensely debated topics.
