Bøger af Niccolo Machiavelli

This deluxe clothbound edition presents Machiavelli's classic work on the philosophy of power. Published posthumously in 1532, Machiavelli's treatise on the manipulation and exercise of power advocated a ruthless realpolitik, sparking a debate about the morality of statesmanship that is still very much alive today. His shrewd text presents strategies that some of history's greatest - and most infamous - rulers have borrowed to achieve their goals. The Prince continues to show enduring popularity among anyone interested in the theory of leadership and power. This compact clothbound edition features silver embossing on the cover, gold-gilded page edges and illustrations inside, making a wonderful gift. ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Ornate Classics are beautifully bound, pocket-sized gift editions of iconic literary works from across history, featuring gilded page-edges, deluxe ivory paper and custom endpapers.

Opera destinata all'uomo di stato, Il Principe di Machiavelli nasce invece lontano dalla scena politica, negli anni appartati dell'L'Albergaccio, una villa della campagna attorno a San Casciano; il testo che più d'ogni altro avrebbe offerto una descrizione lucida e, secondo alcuni, spietata, nella sua a-moralità, della gestione del potere, fu steso invece nel periodo della sconfitta e del confino. In 26 serrati capitoli l'autore organizza un'opera in cui Barberi Squarotti ha ravvisato la perfetta struttura della tragedia: dapprima la parti teoriche consacrate alla creazione e ai differenti modelli di principato (capp. I-XI), al problema delle milizie (dall'XI all'XIV), alla figura del principe (capp. XV-XXIII) e, in seguito, i tre capitoli in chiusura che focalizzano cause e motivi delle sconfitte dei principi italiani suggellati dall'esortazione finale a un'ideale guida che riprenda e risollevi le sorti patrie, compongono l'avventura perfetta dell'eroe classico (Aonia edizioni).
