Descriere The Prince (Royal Collector's Edition) (Annotated) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Niccol Machiavelli

\n \nMachiavelli draws on his extensive historical knowledge and experience as a statesman to examine the reasons that Kings, Emperors, Dukes and governments have thrived or crumbled, while highlighting the principles that guided them. In each case Machiavelli suggests a set of principles that any leader would find difficult to follow, but impossible to ignore.\n \nThe Prince has had a profound influence on political thought over the past 500 years, so much so that the term 'Machiavellian' is used to describe one who deceives and manipulates others. This is likely derived from Machiavelli's view that it is often necessary to act against mercy, against faith, against humanity, against frankness, against religion, in order to preserve the state. Machiavelli continues to provide an understanding of how world leaders think, and why certain decisions are made. A must read for the politically inclined and those interested in world events and the affairs of state.\n \nThis case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket. \n
