More DescriptionWhether this is on a well-curated bookshelf or in your back pocket, this timeless works of philosophical, political, and psychological thought is an absolute must-haves for book collectors as well as design enthusiasts.As a diplomat in tumultuous fifteenth-century Florence, Niccolò Machiavelli knew how quickly political fortunes could rise and fall. The Prince, his tough-minded, practical 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 motivate 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 astute political lessons for modern times.
