«Bréviaire des politiciens» is the essay by Jules Mazarin, translated by François Rosso and introduced by Umberto Eco, published by Arléa in paperback.
Work attributed to Cardinal Mazarin that gathers maxims and precepts for the action of the public man. Politics is a theatre of deceptions, simulations and cunning, and power is preserved through dissimulation and calculation. Against Machiavelli, Mazarin does not theorise: he seeks practical effectiveness and the manipulation of consensus.
The original text, published in 1684, is titled «Breviarium politicorum secundum rubricas Mazarinicas». This French edition has 128 pages.
Of interest to readers of political philosophy, history and non-fiction, and to anyone seeking a classic of power strategy applicable to work.
