Description
The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli is a handbook on ruling and the exercise of power written in 1513. Translated by C.E.Detmold, with an Introduction by Lucille Margaret Kekewich, this work remains as relevant today as it was in the sixteenth century. Machiavelli's ideas on governance have become widely quoted in both academic publications and the press, making The Prince a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of power and its exercise. This book offers insights into the principles that underpin realpolitik, and its relevance extends beyond historical contexts to contemporary issues in business and corporate governance. A manual of man-management, The Prince remains a thought-provoking work that retains the power to shock and annoy, as noted by Norman Stone.
