The Prince

Exploring governance through the lens of historical and contemporary statesmen, this influential work offers radical insights that challenged its time. The new edition features an accessible translation and includes important documents, many newly translated into English. William J. Connell's introductory essay provides a fresh perspective on Machiavelli's life, the context of his writing, and the lasting impact of his ideas. Additional resources such as maps, a chronology, and discussion questions enhance the reader's understanding and engagement with the text.
