Review
Literary scholar Peter Bondanella rightly seeks the cold elegance and readability of the original. Serious English readers will want both translations. Lauro Martines, TLS
Product Description
When Machiavelli's brief treatise on Renaissance statecraft and princely power was posthumously published in 1532, it generated a debate that has raged unabated until the present day. Based upon Machiavelli's first-hand experience as an emissary of the Florentine Republic to the courts of Europe, The Prince analyses the usually violent means by which men seize, retain, and lose political power. Machiavelli added a dimension of incisive realism to one of the major philosophical and political issues of his time, especially the relationship between public deeds and private morality. His book provides a remarkably uncompromising picture of the true nature of power, no matter in what era or by whom it is exercised. This fluent new translation is accompanied by an introduction that considers the true purpose of The Prince and dispels some of the myths associated with it. It has the most comprehensive explanatory and critical notes found in any currently available English translation and the most comprehensive bibliography in any edition of the work. It also contains a helpful Glossary of Proper Names, an Index and a map.

評分Schmitt對其解讀很有意思。不知道EA會怎麼想。
評分essentially a guide to be a dictator, it regards humanity as inherently corrupt and worthless and recommends the best and/or cruelest means to secure a stable state, my 1st xmas holiday read 。。
評分導讀尤其好,把文本放迴瞭依照rhetoric傳統寫就的,對美迪奇傢族和西塞羅式執政理念的駁斥的語境之中。注釋同樣十分豐富,捋清瞭看中譯本時候搞不清的一些事。Make Rome 啊不 Italy Great Again!
