{"product_id":"the-prince-niccol-machiavelli-9780226500447","title":"The Prince: Second Edition","description":"The most famous book on politics ever written, \u003ci\u003eThe Prince\u003c\/i\u003e remains as lively and shocking today as when it was written almost five hundred years ago. Initially denounced as a collection of sinister maxims and a recommendation of tyranny, it has more recently been defended as the first scientific treatment of politics as it is practiced rather than as it ought to be practiced. Harvey C. Mansfield's brilliant translation of this classic work, along with the new materials added for this edition, make it the definitive version of \u003ci\u003eThe Prince\u003c\/i\u003e, indispensable to scholars, students, and those interested in the dark art of politics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis revised edition of Mansfield's acclaimed translation features an updated bibliography, a substantial glossary, an analytic introduction, a chronology of Machiavelli's life, and a map of Italy in Machiavelli's time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Of the other available [translations], that of Harvey C.
