«El Príncipe» is the political theory treatise by Nicolás Maquiavelo, published by Alianza in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
Written in 1513, when the author was removed from power in Florence, this classic analyzes how to obtain and preserve dominion over a territory. Maquiavelo contrasts fortune and virtue, and describes the practical qualities a ruler must possess to maintain the stability of his principality, with a realistic and disillusioned view of the exercise of power.
Edition from the El Libro de Bolsillo - Social Sciences collection (no. 3401), with translation by Miguel Ángel Granada Martínez.
For students of philosophy and political science and for any reader interested in the classics of thought on power.
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli was a Florentine diplomat, author, philosopher, and historian who lived during the Italian Renaissance. He is best known for his political treatise The Prince, written around 1513 but not published until 1532, five years after his death. He has often been called the father of modern political philosophy and political science.
