Machiavelli: Selected Political Writings Hardback
by Niccolo Machiavelli
Part of the Hackett Classics series
Hardback
Description
Here are The Prince and the most important of the Discourses newly translated into spare, vivid English.
Why a new translation? Machiavelli was never the dull, worthy, pedantic author who appears in the pages of other translations, says David Wootton in his Introduction.
In the pages that follow I have done my best to let him speak in his own voice. (And indeed, Wootton's Machiavelli does just that when the occasion demands: renderings of that most problematic of words, virtu, are in each instance followed by the Italian).
Notes, a map, and an altogether remarkable Introduction no less authoritative for being grippingly readable, help make this edition an ideal first encounter with Machiavelli for any student of history and political theory.
