Niccolo Machiavelli's brutally uncompromising manual of statecraft, The Prince is translated and edited with an introduction by Tim Parks in Penguin Classics • As a diplomat in turbulent fifteenth-century Florence, Niccolo Machiavelli knew how quickly political fortunes could rise and fall. The Prince, his tough-minded, pragmatic handbook on how power really works, made his name notorious and has remained controversial ever since. How can a leader be strong and decisive, yet still inspire loyalty in his followers? When is it necessary to break the rules? Is it better to be feared than loved? Examining regimes and their rulers the world over and throughout history, from Roman Emperors to renaissance Popes, from Hannibal to Cesare di Borgia, Machievalli answers all these questions in a work of realpolitik that still has shrewd political lessons for today

Никколо Макиавелли – выдающийся политический деятель эпохи Возрождения. Его трактат «Государь», долгое время запрещенный католической церковью из-за крамольных высказываний автора, – одна из самых знаменитых книг о политике, государстве и власти. «Цель оправдывает средства» – таков, по мнению Макиавелли, главный принцип управления государством. Он выступает сторонником деспотической власти, когда правитель должен внушать подданным не любовь, а страх, и считает деяния, недопустимые с точки зрения морали, благими для процветания государства. Вот уже пять столетий имя Макиавелли связывают с самыми циничными методами управления, а термин «макиавеллизм» стал синонимом коварства, лицемерия, подлости и жестокости • Книга на английском языке • The most famous line of Machiavelli's The Prince reveals both his extraordinary insight and his willingness to disregard convention

Machiavelli’s highly influential treatise on political power • 'It is far safer to be feared than loved...' • The Prince shocked Europe on publication with its advocacy of ruthless tactics for gaining absolute power and its abandonment of conventional morality. Niccolo Machiavelli drew on his own experience of office under the turbulent Florentine republic, rejecting traditional values of political theory and recognising the complicated, transient nature of political life. Machiavelli made his name notorious for centuries with The Prince, his clever and cynical work about power relationships. The key themes of this influential, and ever timely, writer are that adaptability is the key to success and that effective leadership is sometimes only possible at the expense of moral standards
