Description
The Prince is a timeless work of realpolitik that explores the nature of power and its relationship with loyalty and fear. Written by Niccolò Machiavelli, a diplomat who witnessed the rise and fall of fortunes in 15th-century Florence, this handbook offers a pragmatic guide to leadership and governance.
Machiavelli examines the experiences of rulers throughout history, from Roman Emperors to Renaissance Popes, to answer fundamental questions about how to balance strength and loyalty, and when to break the rules. Tim Parks's translation brings Machiavelli's pointed ideas into language that feels both alarming and enlightening.
Published by Penguin Publishing Group, this new edition features Coralie Bickford-Smith's distinctive design, making it a beautiful addition to any bookshelf.
