Students of the history of political thought owe a particular debt of gratitude to Allan Gilbert.”—Dante Germino, The Journal of Politics“A most remarkable achievement.”—Felix Gilbert, Renaissance Quarterly
The Prince, book of Niccolò Machiavelli, Italian political theorist, in 1513 describes an indifferent ruler to moral considerations with determination to achieve and to maintain power.
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli, a philosopher, musician, and poet, wrote plays. He figured centrally in component of the Renaissance, and people most widely know his realist treatises on the one hand and republicanism of Discourses on Livy.
The most useful part, as I discovered in the index, was in the other volumes, but this one gave me a glimpse into the great Italian named Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli. His impact in the field of international relations makes me want to seek more information.
