Krátky popis
'A gripping work, and a gripping translation' Nicholas Lezard,
GuardianNiccolo Machiavelli's brutally uncompromising manual of
statecraft, The Prince is translated and edited with an
introduction by Tim Parks in Penguin Classics As a diplomat in
turbulent fifteenth-century Florence, Niccolo Machiavelli knew how
quickly political fortunes could rise and fall. The Prince, his
tough-minded, pragmatic handbook on how power really works, made
his name notorious and has remained controversial ever since. How
can a leader be strong and decisive, yet still inspire loyalty in
his followers? When is it necessary to break the rules? Is it
better to be feared than loved? Examining regimes and their rulers
the world over and throughout history, from Roman Emperors to
renaissance Popes, from Hannibal to Cesare di Borgia, Machievalli
answers all these questions in a work of realpolitik that still has
shrewd political lessons for today.Tim Parks's acclaimed
contemporary translation renders Machiavelli's no-nonsense original
as alarming and enlightening as when it was first written. His
introduction discusses Machiavelli's life and reputation, and
explores the historical background to the work. 'Tim Parks's swift
and supple new translation brings out all its chilling modernity'
Boyd Tonkin, Independent
