Overview

In The Prince, Machiavelli advocated a shockingly cynical approach to politics. Conventional morality took a back seat as he argued that the ends justified the means. Machiavelli had learned from his own experience as a politician in the Florentine Republic that those who did not take this win-at-all-costs approach tended to lose out to their less scrupulous counterparts. It was one of the most radical political pamphlets ever written. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Classics series brings together high-quality paperback editions of classics works, presented with contemporary graphic cover designs.

Author Information

Niccolo Machiavelli was born in Florence in 1469. He was one of the foremost historians, philosophers and writers of the Italian Renaissance, but it was by working as an official in the Florentine Government that he made his living. Advising princes was a dangerous game, and after the Medici retook the city he found himself exiled until his death in 1527.
