Machiavelli: Selected Political Writings (Hackett Classics)

Machiavelli: Selected Political Writings (Hackett Classics)
- Book is in great condition. All pages and spine are intact. No water damage. Minimal page wear. There is no highlighting. All underlining has been done in pencil ONLY.
Here are The Prince and the most important of the Discourses newly translated into spare, vivid English. Why a new translation? Machiavelli was never the dull, worthy, pedantic author who appears in the pages of other translations, says David Wootton in his Introduction. In the pages that follow I have done my best to let him speak in his own voice. (And indeed, Wootton's Machiavelli does just that when the occasion demands: renderings of that most problematic of words, virtu, are in each instance followed by the Italian). Notes, a map, and an altogether remarkable Introduction no less authoritative for being grippingly readable, help make this edition an ideal first encounter with Machiavelli for any student of history and political theory.
