The Prince Niccolò Machiavelli
The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise written by Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccol Machiavelli as an instruction guide for new princes and royals. The general theme of The Prince is of accepting that the aims of princes - such as glory and survival - can justify the use of immoral means to achieve those ends.
The Prince Niccolò Machiavelli
The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise, by the Italian diplomat and political theorist, Niccol Machiavelli. From correspondence a version appears to have been distributed in 1513, using a Latin title, De Principatibus (About Principalities). However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. This was done with the permission of the Medici pope Clement VII, but 'long before then, in fact since the first appearance of The Prince in manuscript, controversy had swirled about his writings'

Fursten
En av världslitteraturens stora klassiker om maktens villkorNär Niccolò Machiavelli i början av 1500-talet skrev sitt mest berömda verk förnyade han radikalt en ärevördig medeltida genre: »furstespegeln«. I stället för att som brukligt glorifiera regentens roll, i moralens och dygdernas tecken, skrev Machiavelli utan krusiduller vad furstar i allmänhet gör för att överleva och bli framgångsrika. Fursten väckte förargelse och anstöt redan när den utgavs för första gången. Genom århundradena har den fortsatt att vara omstridd, fortsatt att fascinera, med sina skamlöst öppna reflektioner över maktens villkor. Och kanske har boken aldrig varit så aktuell som i vår tid.En av världslitteraturens stora klassiker, i svensk översättning av Karin Hybinette. NICCOLÒ MACHIAVELLI [1469-1527] var en florentinsk författare, filosof, historiker, diplomat och politiker. Machiavelli var 25 år gammal när släkten Medici föll från den florentinska makten 1494 - han gjorde snabb karriär i den nya republiken. När Medici återtog makten 1512 kastades Machiavelli i fängelse, torterades och undkom med en hårsmån att bli avrättad. Kort efter att han frigavs 1513 skrev Machiavelli Fursten, en historisk studie i furstars ledarskap med vägledande kommentarer och analyser. Några år senare togs han i Medicis tjänst. Fursten [Il Principe] publicerades 1532. »Thucydides, och Machiavellis Fursten, står mig närmast i fråga om den ovillkorliga viljan att inte låta sig luras, och att se förnuftet som någonting verkligt, inte som någonting förnuftigt , ännu mindre moraliskt « Friedrich Nietzsche
