Rendered into modern English by Rufus Goodwin, this new edition of Niccolò Machiavelli’s famous, Il Principe—The Prince, contains introductions by Adolph Caso, W.E.C. Baynes and Rufus Goodwin. It also includes many startlingly brilliant illustrations by Benjamin Martinez. In The Prince, Machiavelli attempts to show how leaders should govern, how to avoid pitfalls, and how to be successfully noble as individuals and as leaders: “When a Prince rules as a man of valor, he avoids disasters, remains prepared, and serves the universal common good; he can count on the populace, will never be deceived, and will have built on a solid good.” Machiavelli further observes: “…it is that to know the nature of a people, one needs to be a Prince; to know the nature of a Prince, one needs to be of the people.” In view of the above, can Machiavelli be machiavellian as we have come to know him?
