Written by a Florentine nobleman whose name has become a synonym for crafty plotting, it is a fascinating political and social document, as pertinent today as when it first appeared. After a lifetime of winning and losing at the game of politics, Machiavelli set down for all time its ageless rules and moves, in this highly readable formula for the man who seeks power. At a time before modern democracy, Machiavelli was less concerned with right and wrong than with currying favor with the ruling Medicis, and his work came to be thought of as a blueprint for dictators. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Prince\u003c\/i\u003e has long been required reading for those interested in politics and power, and it has long since become one of the world's most significant books. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWith an Afterword by Regina Barreca \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicolas Machiavel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0451531000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780451531001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Signet Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.83h x 4.20w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e167222 \/ Prince\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nicolas Machiavel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052116504831,"sku":"9780451531001","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_42d3a610-1b18-4385-bb56-fb1511c53bf7.jpg?v=1685017042","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-prince-niccolo-machiavelli-9780451531001","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
