The work traces the life of Niccolò Machiavelli, from his service to the Florentine republic to torture and exile, and frames the ideas of The Prince in their historical context. Text and illustrations show Machiavelli's view of power and why The Prince is still read as a guide for rulers or as political analysis.

Intended for readers seeking a first visual and accessible approach to Machiavelli and political philosophy.
Oscar Zárate is an Argentine comic book artist and illustrator. Zarate studied architecture and had a successful career in advertising in Argentina. He moved to Europe in 1971 and began to work in earnest as an illustrator. He has drawn for the UK comics magazine Crisis.
