New translation of a classic from Italian literature. This edition contains a new translation of G.W.F. Hegel's 'Machiavelli's The Prince and Italy', notes and apparatus on Machiavelli's life and works, four pages of pictures and the first pages of The Prince in the original Italian.

At the end of an industrious political career in conflictriven Italy, the Florentine diplomat Niccolò Machiavelli composed his masterpiece The Prince, a classic study of power and politics, and a manual of ruthlessness for any ambitious ruler. Controversial in his own time, The Prince made Machiavelli’s name a byword for manipulative scheming, and had an impact on such major figures as Napoleon and Frederick the Great. It contains principles as true today as when they were first written almost five centuries ago.

Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527) was a quintessential Renaissance man. Interested in music, poetry and theatre, he was above all a diplomat and a historian. He is most famous for his political treatise The Prince which has become a cornerstone of modern political philosophy.
