«El Príncipe» is the political treatise by Nicolás Maquiavelo, published by Editorial Mediterráneo-Agedime, S.L. in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
Maquiavelo analyses how principalities are obtained and preserved, distinguishes between hereditary, new and mixed ones, and assesses the means of conquest: one's own arms and talent, the fortune of others, crimes or the favour of citizens. In each case, Maquiavelo advises the ruler on the most effective measures to secure his power.
This 1983 edition belongs to the EDIME Pocket Collection (no. 3) and includes the translation from Italian and the prologue by Antonio Espina.
Recommended for philosophy students and for those who wish to know a foundational text on the nature of political power.
