If any book could be called legendary, surely it is this one. Its author, Italian diplomat and philosopher NICCOL� MACHIAVELLI (1469-1527) considered it his greatest work. Indeed, his thoughts on politics, as laid out so famously in this brief but profound work, have become so synonymous with him that his name has become an adjective: Machiavellian. How is political power achieved? How is it maintained? Though Machiavelli states explicitly that he is not discussing "Republics" here, only "Princedoms," this coldly rational guidebook to taking control and holding onto it contains such universal insights into human nature and the structure of human systems that his "advice" serves equally well in almost any power structure.

The Chartwell Books 2014 hard cover printing of the famed classic is a work of art in itself. From the cover lllustration, to the unique binding to the design of the pages themselves, this edition is superb and a wonderful collection to any library. I bought this as a gift but will be buying another one as well as one for myself.
