THE PRINCE:
ANNOTATED EDITION
From $8.99
Enter the perilous world of Niccolò Machiavelli’s The Prince, a text that has captivated and unsettled readers for centuries. A manual for navigating the treacherous corridors of power, The Prince unveils strategies for achieving and maintaining authority—some ingenious, others profoundly disturbing.
Newly translated and annotated by Erica Abbett, Renaissance Revival's edition of The Prince explains difficult words, cryptic illusions, and historical references at the bottom of each page. Prefer e-books? Her annotations are conveniently available at the click of a button.
Far from a moral guide, The Prince compels readers to grapple with its pragmatic and often unsettling approach to leadership and human ambition. So provocative were Machiavelli’s ideas that his name became synonymous with cunning and ruthless political maneuvering, immortalized in the term “Machiavellian.”
Building on her acclaimed editions of The Iliad and Jane Eyre, Abbett equips readers with everything they need to navigate Renaissance politics and engage with the bold ideas that have made The Prince both influential and controversial for centuries.
