Machiavelli (1469-1527) is the father of modern political thought, but he is also one of the greatest writers of the Renaissance and his wisdom and style extend far beyond politics to encompass a compelling philosophy of life as well. In \u003ci\u003eThe Quotable Machiavelli\u003c\/i\u003e, Maurizio Viroli, one of the world's leading Machiavelli scholars, offers a rich collection of the Florentine's most memorable words on a wide range of subjects, including politics, the human condition, religion, love and happiness, antiquity and history, patriotism, and virtue. Drawing on Machiavelli's entire body of writings, and including little-known quotations as well as famous passages, the book shows the full scope of his thought and belies the clich? that he was a \"Machiavellian\" cynic. In addition to Machiavelli's own words on dozens of subjects of perennial interest, the book includes some almost unknown texts in which his contemporaries describe him. Complete with a biographical introduction, the book serves as a handy reference and a smart and lively introduction to a masterly thinker and writer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a rich collection of Machiavelli's most memorable words on a wide range of subjects, from politics to the human condition--almost 700 quotations in all\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdited and introduced by one of the world's leading Machiavelli scholars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServes as a smart and lively introduction to Machiavelli's life and works\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDraws on the complete body of Machiavelli's writings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures a brief biography of Machiavelli, a chronology of his life, suggestions for further reading, and an index\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Niccol?
