The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise by Italian diplomat and philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli. Considered one of the founding works of modern political science, the book offers a realistic and pragmatic view of power and government. Machiavelli explores how a ruler can acquire and maintain power, often through means that are not morally acceptable, but are necessary for the stability and success of the State. This edition, published by Tecnos, features a preliminary study by Ana Martínez Arancón and translation and notes by Helena Puigdomenech.
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.
