The Prince

The Prince - Thryft
The Prince - Thryft

Capture: Unyielding ideals on power

The Prince is a must-read for anyone interested in the nature of power and ruling. Machiavelli's unyielding ideals on the use of force over law, while controversial, provide insight into the ways leaders can achieve their aims. The author's extreme treatise remains a classic text to this day, and is responsible for the widely-used phrase 'Machiavellian'.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.


'We have declared before that it is not only expedient but necessary for a prince to take care his foundations be good, otherwise his fabric will be sure to fail.'


Considered one of the first works of modern philosophy, Machiavelli's The Prince is an intense study on the nature of power and the course it should take when ruling a country and expresses the author's strong and unyielding ideals and beliefs on using force rather than law to achieve your aims.


Responsible for the widely-used phrase 'Machiavellian', with all of its negative connotations, his extreme treatise remains a classic text to this day.
