Description
About the Book
At the end of an industrious political career in conflict-ridden Italy, the Florentine diplomat Niccolo Machiavelli composed his masterpiece The Prince, a classic study of power and politics, and a manual of ruthlessness for any ambitious ruler. Controversial in his own time, The Prince made Machiavelli's name a byword for manipulative scheming, and had an impact on such major figures as Napoleon and Frederick the Great. It contains principles as true today as when they were first written almost five centuries ago.Book Synopsis
Un tratado imprescindible sobre estrategias y ambiciones políticas escrito por el padre de la ciencia política modernaIntroducción de Manuel Arias Maldonado
Traducción y notas de Mauro Armiño Mientras los seres humanos convivan, será necesaria la política. Maquiavelo, que lo sabía por su experiencia en el gobierno de la Florencia renacentista, escribió este tratado para analizar el modo en que los gobernantes consiguen el poder y lo conservan. Con ejemplos históricos, expone una filosofía política en la que el valor de las acciones se define a partir de su eficacia, inaugurando un realismo que se aleja de las corrientes moralistas y utópicas de su época. La presente edición ofrece una nueva traducción anotada de Mauro Armiño, realizada a la luz de las mejores ediciones y más recientes italianas; se abre con una brillante introducción a cargo del escritor y politólogo Manuel Arias Maldonado en la que se defiende la relevancia del texto en nuestros días. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An essential treatise on political strategy and ambitions written by the father of modern political science. Introduction by Manuel Arias Maldonado
Translation and Notes by Mauro Armiño
As long as human beings live together, politics will be necessary. Knowing this from his experience in governing Renaissance Florence, Machiavelli wrote this treatise to discuss how rulers achieve and retain power. With historical examples, he exposes a political philosophy in which the value of actions is defined based on their effectiveness, inaugurating a realism that moves away from the moralistic and utopian currents of his time. This edition offers a new commented translation by Mauro Armiño, made in light of the best and most recent Italian editions. It opens with a brilliant Introduction by the writer and political scientist Manuel Arias Maldonado, in which he defends the relevance of this text in our days.
