Written during the turbulent politics of Renaissance Italy, it examines how rulers acquire power, maintain authority and respond to threats. Machiavelli considers military strength, political reputation, alliances, fortune and the occasional necessity of deception or cruelty. His refusal to treat politics primarily as a matter of conventional morality made the work notorious, but also established it as one of the foundational texts of modern political analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216548413779,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421208297811,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1085\/2951\/6883\/files\/1555.jpg?v=1792532134","url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/the-prince-2006-folio-society-1555","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
