The Prince

The name Niccolò Machiavelli is known all over the world. Who is he? A cynical teacher of bloody dictators or a fierce defender of the homeland? His works have been criticized and banned, but only time can be the judge of genius.

Niccolò Machiavelli wrote that a prince must resemble a lion and a fox if he wants to remain in power. This principle has guided great rulers and influential politicians. Machiavelli's philosophy remains relevant today, and we can see with our own eyes how the ideas of the Florentine thinker are being implemented in practice by world leaders.

This collection presents the most significant works of Machiavelli – “The Prince,” “The Life of Castruccio Castracani of Lucca,” “On How to Deal with the Rebel Inhabitants of Valdichiana,” and other famous works.
