Power, in Machiavelli's account, is something to be studied coldly rather than praised, and this pocket edition puts that argument back into a reader's hands.
Written as counsel to a ruler in Renaissance Italy, the text works through how authority is won, how it is held, and how it slips away, drawing its examples from the states and princes of its own era. The chapters are short and move quickly, which makes the work a practical starting point for anyone approaching political philosophy for the first time, while the compact format suits carrying it in a bag rather than leaving it on a desk.
This edition covers:
• The classic treatise on statecraft in a pocket-sized paperback
• Brief chapters that can be finished in single sittings
• Renaissance examples used to argue general points about rule
• A 244-page format for readers aged seventeen and above
Suited to students of politics and history, and to general readers building a classics shelf, this Fingerprint! Publishing edition is available at Boipoka.
