The Prince (Modern Library Classics)

The Prince (Modern Library Classics)

A new translation by Peter Constantine
Introduction by Albert Russell Ascoli
Â
The first modern treatise of political philosophy, The Prince is one of the worldâ€™s most influential and widely read books. Machiavelli reveals nothing less than the secrets of power: how to gain it, how to wield it, and how to keep it. Ruthless, cunning, and amoral, The Prince is a controversial analysis of manipulation and an essential guide for anyone interested in conquest, self-defense, or observation of dominance and control. The Introduction by noted Italian Renaissance scholar Albert Russell Ascoli provides a perfect opening to Peter Constantineâ€™s illuminating new translation of this seminal work.
Â
â€œConstantine elegantly captures in English the pith of Machiavelliâ€™s brilliant Italian prose.â€â€”Edward Muir, Clarence L. Ver Steeg Professor in the Arts and Sciences, Northwestern University
