## Description

“It is not titles that honour men, but men that honour titles.” How can a prince rise to power? What must he do to remain in it? What is expected of a good ruler? Which is better—to be feared or to be loved? Offering an explicit insight into the minds of a ruler, here is a practical handbook and a political treatise exploring the attainment, maintenance, and utilization of political power in the Western world. It warns that if a state is not governed properly it shall collapse on the ruler. It elaborates on the qualities of a prince and his prudence. One of the first works of modern political philosophy, Niccolò Machiavelli’s The Prince expounds on why the princes of Italy lost their states. He dedicates the book to Lorenzo de’ Medici, believing that it is he who can bring salvation for Italy. This classic edition is a must-have for all! The book continues to influence its readers and the hidden ruler in them It describes the art and craft of war It gives lessons in statesmanship and on judging the strength of principalities This hardbound edition comes with gilded edges, a ribbon bookmark, and beautiful endpapers It is perfect for gifting and will make a good addition to any library

Review: Quality - I love the quality of the book its really great 👍 and also the book are good too read
Review: Best quality, much better than expected! - Physical Quality of Book - The book is really good, sturdy and has a bookmark which is naturally good. Pages with golden lining gives it a very decent and aesthetic look. Psychological Quality of Book - "IT IS MUCH SAFER TO BE FEARED THAN LOVED" and the book means it. Niccolo Machiavelli and Machiavellianism is not about manipulation, cynicism or evil tactics. It is about understanding how the power works, why good intentions always fail, and ultimately understanding what happens if power and authority is misunderstood and mishandled. This book is not about any fantasy or entertainment, it throws light on some ultimate truth. If you wish to get an idea on power, leadership, negotiation, etc. you should go for it.
