{"product_id":"the-prince-9780553212785","title":"El Príncipe","description":"Here is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor \u003ci\u003eThe Prince\u003c\/i\u003e even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince . . . a king . . . a president. When, in 1512, Machiavelli was removed from his post in his beloved Florence, he resolved to set down a treatise on leadership that was practical, not idealistic. In \u003ci\u003eThe Prince\u003c\/i\u003e he envisioned would be unencumbered by ordinary ethical and moral values; his prince would be man and beast, fox and lion. Today, this small sixteenth-century masterpiece has become essential reading for every student of government, and is the ultimate book on power politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16272304\"\u003eNicolas Machiavel\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bantam Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Mass Market Paperbound\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.05h x 4.07w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780553212785\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0553212788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL010000\"\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Theory | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC004000\"\u003eClassics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL042000\"\u003ePolitical Ideologies | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Constantine\u003c\/b\u003e, winner of the PEN Translation Prize and a National Translation Award, has earned wide acclaim for his translation of \u003ci\u003eThe Undiscovered Chekhov\u003c\/i\u003e and of the complete works of Isaac Babel, as well as for his Modern Library translations, which include \u003ci\u003eThe Essential Writings of Machiavelli, \u003c\/i\u003eGogol's \u003ci\u003eTaras Bulba, \u003c\/i\u003e Voltaire's \u003ci\u003eCandide, \u003c\/i\u003e and Tolstoy's \u003ci\u003eThe Cossacks\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAlbert Russell Ascoli \u003c\/b\u003eis Gladys Arata Terrill Distinguished Professor of Italian Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, and was awarded the Rome Prize for study at the American Academy in Rome.","brand":"Bantam Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42702373814509,"sku":"9780553212785","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_bdcf709d-27d3-471f-bed0-4eb4ff5c162f.jpg?v=1754366332","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/the-prince-9780553212785","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
