About this title

Review:

"Machiavelli in Hell is both monumental and intimate, provocative and winning. . . . [De Grazia's] own style is pithy, sinewy, vigoroustaut and relaxed by turns: not unlike Niccol's. His Machiavelli is complex, brilliant, attractive, at times profound."--Thomas D'Evelyn, The Christian Science Monitor

"Machiavelli in Hell is a living portrait of a man. . . . At last we see Machiavelli in the midst of his contemporaries, rather than in the midst of our more or less fixed (and prejudiced) ideas about him. . . . An extraordinary work, written, as Machiavelli would say, 'divinely'."--La Repubblica

From the Back Cover:

"Sebastian de Grazia has written a remarkable book which is both a life and work blended together, an illuminating reconstruction of Machiavelli's thought within the context of his times. He achieves an unprecedented sense of intimacy with his subject, and turns the demonic 'Machiavel' into the very human 'Niccol,' whose ideas are seen to arise so naturally from the world of his experiences and feelings. It is a model of how intellectual biography should be done."--Joseph Frank
