The Prince

"It is safer to be feared than loved." These words embody the spirit of The Prince, Niccolo Machiavelli`s classic work of political philosophy. Machiavelli`s advice for how a ruler should acquire and ruthlessly exercise power over others continues to be relevant to contemporary readers more than five centuries after it was first published. This is one of Barnes & Noble`s `Collectible Editions` classics. Each volume features authoritative texts by the world`s greatest authors in an elegantly designed bonded-leather binding, with distinctive gilt edging. Durable and collectible, these volumes are an indispensable cornerstone of every home library.
