«El Príncipe» is the political philosophy treatise by Nicolás Maquiavelo, published by Alhambra in paperback (140 pages, in Spanish).
In this work, Maquiavelo reflects on how power is obtained and preserved. With historical examples, he examines the virtues and vices of the ruler, the ways of exercising authority, and the tension between traditional morality and the demands of power, with pragmatic advice that has shaped the concept of Machiavellianism.
This 1986 edition belongs to the collection «Clásicos del pensamiento», number 14, with editing and didactic material by Andrés Plumed.
For students of philosophy and politics and for readers who want to approach the classics of thought.
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli was a Florentine diplomat, author, philosopher, and historian who lived during the Italian Renaissance. He is best known for his political treatise The Prince, written around 1513 but not published until 1532, five years after his death. He has often been called the father of modern political philosophy and political science.
