The Prince

Written by Niccolò Machiavelli and W. K. Marriott, translator

Narrated by Jason William Bayless

This powerful, and sometimes disturbing and frank, political treatise was written in the early 16th century by Niccolo Machiavelli, a political theorist and Italian diplomat. Machiavelli was writing specifically to Lorenzo De'Medici as an instruction manual for "new princes." His perspective on the aims and glory of princes is a controversial but powerful insight into the cold calculations of men of his station in his time.

Niccolò Machiavelli

Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) was an Italian diplomat, philosopher and writer during the Renaissance era. Machiavelli led a politically charged life, often depicting his political endorsements in his writing. He led his own militia, and believed that violence made a leader more effective. Though he held surprising endorsements, Machiavelli is considered to be the father of political philosophy and political science, studying governments in an unprecedented manner that has forever shaped the field.
