El Príncipe

Considered the first modern treatise on the art of governing, The Prince is the key work to understand the political thought of Nicholas Machiavelli. In it he details the essential secrets to seize power and become a successful ruler. Although his thesis has been misinterpreted over the centuries, as the meaning we give today to the term "Machiavellian" shows, Nicholas Machiavelli continues to be a key author for understanding the political struggle in the 21st century. The classic is presented in this volume accompanied by the "Capitoli", four little-known poems of a moralism as disenchanted as the times.
