The Prince (Collins Classics)
O ovoj e-knjizi
Whoever is the occasion of another’s advancement is the cause of his own diminution.
Considered one of the first works of modern philosophy, The Prince is a study on the nature of power and how to wield it. Originally written as a manual for the Duke of Urbino, Lorenzo de' Medici, Machiavelli details the flattery, intimidation and force a leader might use to reach supremacy – and stay there – using any means at their disposal.
The origin of the term ‘Machiavellian’, in all its amoral and underhand realpolitik, this unscrupulous treatise remains a source of inspiration, and caution, for leaders today.

O autoru
Niccolo Machiavellio was an Italian diplomat, politician, and philosopher in the Renaissance period. His most famous work, The Prince, was written for the Duke of Urbino as a guide on how to hold on to power at any price. His ruthless notoriety gave rise to the term ‘Machiavellian’, which came to denote a kind of unscrupulous politician.
