Dedie a Laurent de Medicis, Le Prince est une oeuvre nourrie par l'experience d'ambassadeur de son auteur. Machiavel y definit les fins du gouvernement: sur le plan exterieur, maintenir a tout prix son emprise sur les territoires conquis; sur le plan interieur, se donner les moyens de rester au pouvoir. Parce que les hommes sont egoistes, le prince n'est pas tenu d'etre moral. Il doit etre craint en evitant de se faire hair par le peuple.

Niccolò Machiavelli provides a remarkably uncompromising picture of the true nature of power, no matter what era or by whom it is exercised. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold-foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition features an afterword by Oliver Francis. Drawing on examples from the ancient Greeks and Romans and from Machiavelli's contemporaries, The Prince offers - some believed with satirical intent - advice on how a ruler should preserve his power, conduct and warfare, and maintain his reputation. Machiavelli not only influenced many of the great statesmen of his age, but was also one of the founding fathers of modern political thought. The Prince, written in 1513 and published in 1532, is one of the most famous pieces of writing of all time.

The Prince

"Der Fürst" (italienisch Il Principe) wurde um 1513 von Niccolò Machiavelli verfasst. Die päpstliche Druckgenehmigung erschien am 4. Januar 1532 postum. Vorher kursierten Abschriften des Werkes. Es gilt neben den Discorsi, das Machiavelli parallel zum Fürstenbuch schrieb, als sein Hauptwerk.

Der Fürst

Here is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor The Prince even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince . . . a king . . . a president. When, in 1512, Machiavelli was removed from his post in his beloved Florence, he resolved to set down a treatise on leadership that was practical, not idealistic. In The Prince he envisioned would be unencumbered by ordinary ethical and moral values; his prince would be man and beast, fox and lion. Today, this small sixteenth-century masterpiece has become essential reading for every student of government, and is the ultimate book on power politics.

Le prince

Often cited as one of the first works in modern political philosophy, The Prince is a political treatise that relates author Niccolo Machiavelli's theories on state-building and rulership. Drawing on his experience as a diplomat, Machiavelli discusses the important policies for both republican free-states and hereditary princedoms, and outlines the most successful political tactics, many of which remain relevant into modern times. Controversial at the time of its writing in 1513, The Prince was not officially printed until 1532, almost two decades later and five years after Niccolo Machiavelli's death. At the time, the ideas put forth in the treatise directly conflicted with dominant religious doctrines, and negative connotations surrounding the term "Machiavellian" continue to endure. Nonetheless, The Prince has influenced rulers including King Henry VIII and Catherine de Medici, and political philosophers such as Francis Bacon and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and has become one of the most widely read works of political philosophy in history.

IDiscorsi non sono un trattato sistematico, ma un insieme di osservazioni che, in forma di libero commento ai primi dieci libri delle Storie di Livio, investono i grandi problemi connessi alla dinamica della vita storica e politica. Sono inoltre un’opera scritta con impareggiabile vigore di stile e segnata da una straordinaria capacità di analisi. Una lettura – qui presentata dall’approfondita introduzione di Gennaro Sasso e arricchita dall’esaustivo apparato di note di Giorgio Inglese – indispensabile a chi voglia penetrare nella sua autentica complessità il pensiero politico di Machiavelli, troppo spesso irrigidito in formule spregiudicate e semplicistiche.
