About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
In 1513, dismissed from office and exiled from Florence, Niccolò Machiavelli wrote a short book for the Medici on how a prince wins power and keeps it. Five centuries later The Prince is still the most famous and most argued-over handbook of political power ever written.
In twenty-six brief chapters Machiavelli sets out, with a frankness that shocked his readers and still does, how principalities are acquired and lost; why a prince must learn how not to be good; whether it is better to be loved or feared; how to handle fortune, advisers, flatterers and armies; and what Cesare Borgia got right and wrong. Behind the cold advice lies a passionate final appeal for a leader who could free Italy.
Read by generations of rulers, revolutionaries and executives, The Prince founded modern political science and gave the language the word Machiavellian. This new translation presents it complete and unabridged.
