Produktbeschreibung
The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise by the Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. From correspondence a version appears to have been distributed in 1513, using a Latin title, De Principatibus (About Principalities). However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. This was done with the permission of the Medici pope Clement VII, but "long before then, in fact since the first appearance of The Prince in manuscript, controversy had swirled about his writings". Although it was written as if it were a traditional work in the mirrors for princes style, it is generally agreed that it was especially innovative. This is only partly because it was written in the vernacular Italian rather than Latin, a practice which had become increasingly popular since the publication of Dante's Divine Comedy and other works of Renaissance literature.

Autorenporträt
Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) was an Italian political thinker, historian, and writer, best known for The Prince, a guide on power and leadership. Living during the turbulent Italian Renaissance, he worked as a diplomat for the Republic of Florence before being exiled when the ruling government changed. His writings, often seen as pragmatic and even ruthless, explored politics, war, and human nature. Though controversial, his ideas remain influential in political science, strategy, and leadership today.
