Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780872202481.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hackett Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949484011573,"sku":"ByrdShop_0872202488","price":318.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780872202481_e9d13ba4-899f-4640-b96d-310076d18906.jpg?v=1778855935","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/machiavelli-selected-political-writings-hackett-classics-9780872202481","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
