To Acquire Power, Not to Acquire Glory

History comes alive on the pages of the book: missions, intrigues, accusations, disgrace, amnesty… Machiavelli lived and acted decisively, readily embracing new knowledge and expanding his worldview. Several generations of politicians, philosophers, and writers have studied, challenged, praised, and promoted the philosophical treatises of Niccolò Machiavelli. Professor Gabriel Pedulla not only tells the story of Machiavelli's life but also impartially analyzes his works "The Prince," "On Military Art," and "Discourses on the First Decade of Titus Livius." The book is being published in Russian in two series titled "Niccolò Machiavelli. To Acquire Power, Not to Acquire Glory" (series "Persona") and "To Acquire Power, Not to Acquire Glory. Niccolò Machiavelli" (series "Historical Interest").
