The Prince君王论

A classic of the Western tradition, Machiavelli`s The Prince has influenced political and philosophical thought since its publication four centuries ago. In this new edition of Machiavelli`s momentous book, Angelo M. Codevilla provides a translation uniquely faithful to the original, and especially sensitive to the author`s use of verbal imprecision, including puns, double meanings, and the subjunctive mood. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
