Synopsis

Excerpt from Œuvres Politiques de Machiavel: Traduction Périès; Édition Contenant le Prince Et les Décades de Tite-Live, Avec une Étude, des Notices Et des Notes

L'ardem extrême avec laquelle ces deux ouvrages ont été alta qués ou défendus témoigne de toute leur importance. Ou peut dire qu'ils n'ont pas vieilli; car, dans les jours agités comme dans les jours de calme, dans les mouarchies comme dans les républiques, on y trouve toujours des vues profondes qui s'appliquent exacte ment à la situation présente; et à côté de cette curiosité qui s'at tache aux productions justement célèbres, ou y rencontre est en seiguement pratique qui ressort de l'observation des faits.

About this title

About the Author

Niccolo Machiavelli was an Italian politician, diplomat, founding father of political science, and author of the preeminent political treatise, The Prince. Born in Florence, Italy, Machiavelli held many government posts over his lifetime and often took leading roles in important diplomatic missions. During his time visiting other countries and nation states, Machiavelli was exposed to the politics of figures like Ceasare Borgia and King Louis XII, experiences which would inform his writings on state-building and politics. Machiavelli s political career came to an abrupt end when the Medici overthrew Florence, and he was held as a prisoner under the new regime. Tortured for a short time, he was released without admitting to any crime or treason. At this point, Machiavelli retired and turned to intellectual and philosophical pursuits, producing his two major works, The Prince and Discourses on the First Ten Books of Titus Livy. He died in 1527 at the age of 58.
