This unique and sometimes disturbingly frank political treatise was written in the early 16th century by Niccolo Machiavelli, a political theorist and Italian diplomat. Machiavelli was writing specifically to Lorenzo de'Medici as an instruction manual for "new princes". His perspective on the aims and glory of princes is a controversial but powerful insight into the cold calculations of men of his station in his time.

Machiavelli, Machiavellist miydi? Mezar taşına “hiçbir övgü bu adın büyüklüğüne erişemez” yazılan Machiavelli, son çağın politik bilimini kurmuş ve bu bilime pratik mantığı sokmak suretiyle de felsefi bir özgünlük kazandırmıştır. Machiavelli, hemen her devirde değişik dünya görüşüne sahip kişilerce göklere çıkarılan veya yerin dibine batırılan ama asla ilgisiz kalınamayan “diri” bir düşünürdür. Prens, işte böyle bir düşünürün, siyaset konusunda hangi ülkeden veya hangi düşünceden olursa olsun herkes için geçerli sayılacak kuramların işlendiği bir yapıttır.

For an atheist it’s a great deal, though it does suggest atheism may have a weak point. For those of faith it’s a matter of jam now and purgatory tomorrow. A bargain many artists feel is something they can live with. For agnostics it’s usually a question of can the afterlife really be that bad, would workplace regulations reach all parts of heaven and hell. However, in this volume the terms are agreed and the Devil pays his fees and the character his dues, each happy to wait a few decades for the eternal payback.
