    About this audiobook

    The Prince, Machiavelli's 'little book', was written in 1513 and is dedicated to Lorenzo de' Medici. It remains a compelling and controversial treatise on politics, dispensing often cynical, sometimes brutal advice on gaining power and retaining it. Essential listening for our masters perhaps, but most certainly for those of us who would not be mastered. The text used here is the unabridged and classic translation by W. K. Marriott.

      One of the essential reads of the modern world, The Prince is a solid tactical guide to leadership and governance for all. Machiavelli masterfully navigates the reader through all manner of government and communication styles and the outcomes of choices that abide by internal and external forces. Lessons understood here directly translate to the actions and situations of our society today.
