«Il principe» is the political theory essay by Niccolò Machiavelli, published by Newton Compton Editori in paperback (100 pages, in Italian).
The treatise De Principatibus, written in 1513, analyzes the nature of political power and the qualities a ruler needs to conquer and preserve it. Machiavelli starts from a realistic and disillusioned view: men tend to impose themselves on one another, and the prince must channel that force to sustain his state.
Complete edition from the Tascabili Economici Newton collection, with an introduction by Nino Borsellino and full text.
Recommended for students of philosophy, politics and history and for readers of classics of Western thought.
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.
