Produktbeschreibung

How does one gain and keep power, and what are the hidden costs of doing so? In this fresh translation of Machiavelli's classic text, readers are presented with a pragmatic examination of leadership, power, and political strategy during the tumultuous period of Renaissance Italy. Machiavelli's work offers a direct, unsentimental approach to ruling, arguing that stability often requires tactical compromises. Through concrete historical examples, he illustrates how political figures might rise to power and maintain it through cunning, adaptability, and the occasional calculated risk. Modern readers will discover enduring insights on authority and governance that continue to influence statecraft and leadership today. This accessible edition, newly translated by Filibooks Translation, offers clear language and context while preserving Machiavelli's incisive observations. Whether approached as a philosophical treatise or a cautionary guidebook, "The Prince" invites reflection on the delicate balance between moral ideals and the demands of real-world politics.

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.

Though controversial, his ideas remain influential in political science, strategy, and leadership today.
