内容简介

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are.

从十五世纪下半叶起，以意大利为发源地，欧洲进入了文艺复兴时期。正如恩格斯曾经指出的，这是一次人类从来没有经历过的最伟大的、进步的变化，是一个需要巨人的时代，而且产生了巨人——在思维能力、热情和性格方面，在多才多艺和学识渊博方面的巨人时代。尼科洛·马基雅维里正是这个伟大时代的巨人之一。他是意大利佛罗伦萨的政治家、外交家，同时也是一位政治思想家。同时也是第一个使政治学独立，同伦理家彻底分家的人，有“资产阶级政治学奠基人”之称，并且是历史家、军事著作者、诗人和剧作家。

在作者的几部学术名著中，《君主论》是*小的一部，但也是最有名的，它使马基雅维里身后获得举世周知的名声。

作者简介

Niccolò Machiavelli was born in Florence in 1469 of an old citizen family. In 1498 he was appointed secretary and a second chancellor to the Florentine Republic. During his time of office he accompanied Juliu* II on his first campaign of conquest. In 1507, as chancellor of the newly appointed Nove di Milizia, he organised an infantry force which fought at the capture of Pisa in 1509. Three years later it was defeated by the Holy League at Prato, the Medici returned to Florence, and Machiavelli was excluded from public life. He retired to his farm near San Casciano, where he gave his time to study and writing. After a brief return to public life, he died in 1527.
