Synopsis

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. 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.

About the Author

Nicolas Machiavel (en italien : Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli) est un penseur humaniste italien de la Renaissance, philosophe, théoricien de la politique, de l'histoire et de la guerre, né le 3 mai 1469 à Florence, en Italie et mort le 21 juin 1527 dans la même ville. Machiavel a donné naissance à plusieurs termes en français : « machiavélisme » et ses dérivés, qui font référence à une interprétation politicienne cynique de l’œuvre de Machiavel et « machiavélien » qui fait directement référence aux concepts développés par Machiavel dans son œuvre.
