First published in 1532, The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli remains one of the most influential works on politics, leadership, and power. Written during the turbulent Renaissance period, this timeless classic explores the realities of political rule, offering bold and pragmatic advice to rulers on how to gain, maintain, and consolidate power.

Often controversial, Machiavelli's sharp observations on strategy, human nature, and statecraft have earned him both praise and criticism for centuries. His insights into ambition, manipulation, and the balance between fear and love continue to resonate in politics, business, and leadership today.

This edition of The Prince brings readers one of history's most important treatises on power-a must-read for anyone interested in history, philosophy, or the art of leadership.
