Official synopsis Publisher
Applying his personal experience as a diplomat to the French and Italian courts, Macchiavelli shocked Europe by publishing this coldly practical manual about how a ruler should acquire and keep political power. Here, he advocates that princes should employ ruthless tactics for gaining absolute power with little or no regard to conventional moral principles. The Prince established Machiavelli as one of the most important fathers of modern political science, not least because of its enduring relevance to the numerous political upheavals which have occurred in the 20th and 21st centuries. This larger format edition is particularly well-suited for school and college students. Here, each page has a wide outer margin for short notes and points for further thought, whilst there are also ten pages of lined notepaper at the end to add more detailed notes or to develop ideas. This volume contains the complete and unabridged text in addition to a personal study notebook – which means it offers excellent value for money.
