{"product_id":"machiavelli-selected-political-writings-hackett-classics","title":"Machiavelli: Selected Political Writings (Hackett Classics)","description":"Here are The Prince and the most important of the Discourses newly translated into spare, vivid English. Why a new translation? Machiavelli was never the dull, worthy, pedantic author who appears in the pages of other translations, says David Wootton in his Introduction. In the pages that follow I have done my best to let him speak in his own voice. (And indeed, Wootton’s Machiavelli does just that when the occasion demands: renderings of that most problematic of words, virtu, are in each instance followed by the Italian). Notes, a map, and an altogether remarkable Introduction no less authoritative for being grippingly readable, help make this edition an ideal first encounter with Machiavelli for any student of history and political theory.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 087220247X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.087220247X.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Niccolo Machiavelli|David Wooton\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: It's been through some chapters of life!
