Flaumenhaft's beautifully crafted, literal translation aims to capture the original intent of the playwright. Machiavelli himself distinguished carefully between translations and revisions; thus, Flaumenhaft finds a faithful translation essential to conveying Machiavelli's thought and to allowing direct access to the work. The Prologue explores the relationship between Machiavelli's stage comedies--part of the Comedia Erudita of the Italian Renaissance--and his political books. Mandragola focuses on the interplay between personal and political ethics, a major theme throughout his works. The translation includes helpful notes that clarify allusions, language, and context. Names of characters and places, titles and forms of address, and some familiar Italian words and phrases remain in Italian. Passages in Latin, as well as idioms, are reproduced in the notes. 3246582 1957 Mandragola total:118|5:19|4:44|3:40|2:13|1:2| 118 419 153 11 448298 0822207281 9780822207283 15 1 3.55 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/448298.The_Mandrake_ 3 0 false Wed Oct 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 11:19:48 -0700 2009 Thu Nov 05 12:27:57 -0800 2009 more...]]> 234572 8806069993 9788806069995 3 1 3.55 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/234572.Mandragola 5 1 false Fri Mar 16 19:57:55 -0700 2007 Fri Mar 16 20:00:17 -0700 2007 850030 0917974573 9780917974571 98 9 3.55 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223634840m/850030.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/850030.Mandragola 3 1 false Tue Aug 21 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Feb 11 05:23:28 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 11 05:25:17 -0800 2008 850030 0917974573 9780917974571 98 9 3.55 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223634840m/850030.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/850030.Mandragola 2 0 false Mon Nov 18 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Sat Sep 13 22:01:39 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 13 22:03:18 -0700 2008 Mandragola, I can’t say I’m too impressed.
