Vorst

Vorst

by Niccolò Machiavelli

A treatise on the art of acquiring and maintaining political power, 'The Prince' is considered a foundational work in the field of political thought. Written by the Italian diplomat and philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli in the early 16th century, it offers a pragmatic and often ruthless guide to statecraft, arguing that the ends justify the means when it comes to securing and consolidating one's rule.
