The philosopher and thinker Niccolò Machiavelli, without whom it is impossible to imagine Renaissance Italy, left behind perhaps a less vivid mark than his active, energetic contemporaries—members of the Borgia and Medici clans. Born into a family of modest lawyers, the future author of "The Prince" never ceased learning, self-educating himself to a university level, and, in an era of military coups, fragile alliances, and skillful intrigue, remained a bookish man, pursuing a career as an official and leading a predominantly clerical life. His influence on Renaissance culture and philosophy, and through them on all political history, was far more profound. His position as an observer of the powerful provided him with inexhaustible food for thought, which Machiavelli, with his characteristic brevity and precision, expounded in his written works. The aptness of his historical assessments earned him fame as almost the official chronicler of his explosive era, which continues to excite minds. His keen political instincts, profound knowledge of military affairs, and the art of statecraft made him one of the key figures in political science.

This edition includes two of Niccolò Machiavelli's major works: The Prince (1513) and On the Art of War (1519–1520).
