The Prince

This edition presents the treatises of Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527), forming a unified corpus of texts united by a common political issue. Central among them is the famous treatise by Machiavelli "The Prince" and the extensive "Discourses on the First Decade of Titus Livius" - works that reflect Machiavelli's political doctrine and philosophy of history.
The author of the preface to the book - the director of the legendary publishing house "Academia" Lev Borisovich Kamenev - prepared it for the first volume of the collected works of Machiavelli, published in 1934. This edition served as the basis for this book.
The book concludes with a fundamental article on the life and work of the Italian thinker, written by the outstanding Russian historian and expert on Renaissance culture Alexei Karpovich Dziveligev, who prepared the notes to Machiavelli's texts.
For all those interested in the history of philosophy, political thought, and the culture of the Renaissance era.
