Publisher's Summary

The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise by the Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli.

  • The Prince is sometimes claimed to be one of the first works of modern philosophy, especially modern political philosophy, in which the effective truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal.
  • It was also in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of the time concerning politics and ethics.
  • This book has been carefully adapted into Modern English for best enjoyment.
