书籍简介

《君主论》是一部现代政治哲学专著，是世界上颇具影响力和广泛阅读的书籍之一。马基雅维利揭示了权力的秘密:如何获得权力，如何使用权力，以及如何保持权力。《君主论》是对操纵的一种有争议的分析，是任何对征服、自卫或观察支配和控制感兴趣的人的基本指南。由著名的意大利文艺复兴学者阿尔伯特·罗素·阿斯科利所作的引言为彼得·康斯坦丁对这部开创性著作的新译作提供了一个完美的开端。

The first modern treatise of political philosophy, The Prince is one of the world’s most influential and widely read books. Machiavelli reveals nothing less than the secrets of power: how to gain it, how to wield it, and how to keep it. Ruthless, cunning, and amoral, The Prince is a controversial analysis of manipulation and an essential guide for anyone interested in conquest, self-defense, or observation of dominance and control. The Introduction by noted Italian Renaissance scholar Albert Russell Ascoli provides a perfect opening to Peter Constantine’s illuminating new translation of this seminal work.
