About This Book
Florentine historian and philosopher during the Renaissance. His masterpiece The Prince, an amoral guide to achieving and maintaining political power, is still widely read.
“A fascinating life of the great secretary of the Florentine republic which strives “to describe him as he really was, with all his merits and demerits, his vices and his virtues.” The biography proper is prefaced by some two hundred pages on the Renaissance. The work is based on original source material.”
— A.L.A. Catalog 1926
