"The Prince", his tough-minded, pragmatic handbook on how power really works, made his name notorious and has remained controversial ever since. How can a leader be strong and decisive, yet still inspire loyalty in his followers? When is it necessary to break the rules? Is it better to be feared than loved? Examining regimes and their rulers the world over and throughout history, from Roman Emperors to renaissance Popes, from Hannibal to Cesare di Borgia, Machievalli answers all these questions in a work of realpolitik that still has shrewd political lessons for today. Tim Parks' acclaimed contemporary translation renders Machiavelli's no-nonsense original as alarming and enlightening as when it was first written. His introduction discusses Machiavelli's life and reputation, and explores the historical background to the work"--Publisher's description  0aPolitical scienceyEarly works to 1800. 0aPolitical ethics. 0aPhilosophy1 aParks, TimeTranslated and introduced by  2SH0818  a7bcbccorignewd1eocipf19gy-gencatlg  2ddccBKn0  c13567d13567  00102ddc4070aBEDbBEDcBEDd2026-03-19eFully Bookedl0oSHS 320.1 M14p 2011pSH0818r2026-06-18 00:00:00w2026-03-19yBK
