Description

The Prince is a 16th century political treatise by Nicolo Machiavelli. In it, Machiavelli argues that it is better for a ruler to be feared than loved, and that the ends justify the means. The book has been praised and condemned by various scholars over the years, but is still considered one of the most influential political works ever written. Read in English, unabridged.

Author

Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527) turned Renaissance Florence into a school of hard truths. Exiled from office, he wrote The Prince as if the fate of states depended on nerve, timing, and a willingness to look at human motives without flinching. Courts called him cynical; later centuries called him the father of modern political science.
