The Prince: The Original Classic: 5 (Capstone Classics)

Like often, the 'soundbite' often heard in relation to the book ('divide and conquer') does not cover it well.The book is pretty easy to read and understand and provides interesting insights, but in general, but specifically in the past. As the very good and clear introduction describes, this book was basically written as a 'handbook on ways to obtain and remain power'. Something very relevant for the time and region it was written (Europe under the Holy Roman Empire etc.).Before I read it, I thought this book would book with 'evil/nasty tips and tricks for ruling' (which I was not looking forward to), but I obviously was very naive about that. It's much more than that and in my view a true classic that deserves to be read more.

I had always heard about this book. So much can be referenced in today’s world.Machiavelli was definitely ahead of his time.

Great book - Must read!

This is a great book and not as controversial or ground-breaking as people may expect it to be. Very clearly written and an accurate analysis of the human psyche and how to lead the masses.

This is a classic guide to extreme government in which the author raises the pragmatic to the brutal! Revealing, but ruthless!

A good read here. A classic! One to read if you haven’t already. Nicely presented here too.

Great book with good commentary, very insightful.

Excellent book you need to read it a couple of times to make sure you soak it in

Well bound and overall excellent

O único problema é que chegou com a capa avariada.

Das Produkt kam schnell an und ist sehr frisch.

Bought this with the recommendation of my friend and realize it isn't the kind of book for me. Will still give it a 3 star despite that, nothing wrong with it but just me.=)

This book looks nice for starters. the title text can be hard to read because its black on black, hence the colored slip cover. the book seems well bound, and the pages are sturdy with easy to read text. I personally liked the way it flowed, and make for easy night-time reading. It's a classic with some very modern applications. I highly recommend this book.
