The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise by Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. Written in 1513 but not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death, The Prince is possibly Machiavelli's best-known work and is responsible for bringing the term 'Machiavellian' into widespread usage. Initially, it was dedicated to Lorenzo de Medici in the hope of regaining his favor after a period of exile. The book explores the acquisition, maintenance, and use of political power in monarchies and principalities.
