«El príncipe» is Niccolò Machiavelli's treatise on political philosophy, published by Biblioteca Nueva in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
In El príncipe, Machiavelli analyses with irony and lucidity the origin of state power and the strategies a ruler needs to retain it. The treatise draws on historical examples and a disillusioned view of human nature, inaugurates modern political thought and separates governmental effectiveness from moral ideals, while remaining a classic text that speaks to contemporary thinking.
El príncipe was originally published as Il principe in 1532 and belongs to the Clásicos del Pensamiento collection. This edition includes translation, editing, notes and a preliminary study by Ángeles J. Perona.
Recommended for readers interested in political philosophy, history of ideas and the theory of power.
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.
