The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise by Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. Written in vernacular Italian, it was apparently written in 1513 but not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. In it, Machiavelli describes how to acquire and maintain political power. The book is not a work of abstract theory, but a practical guide for rulers. It is based on Machiavelli's own experience in politics and his study of history. The Prince is one of the most influential works of Western political philosophy.
