Anotace
'A prince must not have any other object nor any other
thought...but war, its institutions, and its discipline; because
that is the only art befitting one who commands.' When
Machiavelli's brief treatise on Renaissance statecraft and princely
power was posthumously published in 1532, it generated a debate
that has raged unabated until the present day. Based upon
Machiavelli's first-hand experience as an emissary of the
Florentine Republic to the courts of Europe, The Prince analyses
the usually violent means by which men seize, retain, and lose
political power. Machiavelli added a dimension of incisive realism
to one of the major philosophical and political issues of his time,
especially the relationship between public deeds and private
morality. His book provides a remarkably uncompromising picture of
the true nature of power, no matter in what era or by whom it is
exercised. This fluent new translation is accompanied by
comprehensive notes and an introduction that considers the true
purpose of The Prince and dispels some of the myths associated with
it.
