Synopsis
THE PRINCE is the bible of realpolitik. This famous treatise on statecraft holds such power to shock 'men of goodwill' that at one time Niccolo Machiavelli was identified with Satan himself. In his own turbulent times, however, Machiavelli was concerned not with lofty ideals, but with government that would last. He drew on his own experiences of office under the Florentine Republic. Here he states uncompromisingly what, in some degree, most governments do but none profess to do. The tough realities of Machiavelli's Italian are well preserved in the clear, unambigious English of George Bull's newly revised translation, and a detailed discussion of the text is given in Anthony Grafton's new introduction

About the Author
Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527) was appointed secretary and Second Chancellor to the Florentine Republic in 1498. He was dismissed from his post in 1512 and forced to withdraw from public life, after which time he wrote THE PRINCE, a handbook for rulers.
GEORGE BULL is an author and journalist who has translated six volumes for Penguin Classics including Cellini's 'Autobiography' and Vasari's 'Lives of the Artists'.
ANTHONY GRAFTON teaches European intellectual history at Princeton University.
