By drawing upon examples from ancient Greek and Roman societies, as well as Machiavelli's contemporaries, The Prince offers – some believe with satirical intent – guidance on how a ruler should uphold their power, conduct warfare, and maintain their reputation. Machiavelli not only exerted a profound influence on numerous influential statesmen of his era but also played a pivotal role in the founding of modern political thought. Written in 1513 and published in 1532, The Prince stands as one of the most celebrated and influential works of literature in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 134g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 101 x 157 x 13 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781529008401                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Niccolo Machiavelli","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44099491135738,"sku":"9781529008401","price":7.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/029c443bb939cd2d754def29d9a4715c.jpg?v=1627700003","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/prince-2","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
