The Prince is the sixteenth century political treatise by the political theorist Niccol� Machiavelli. While it is typically considered the pinnacle of his thesis on politics, it was published posthumously. It gained instant recognition in its day, partly because it was published in Italian rather than the traditional Latin, a practice gaining in popularity at the time. The Prince is generally considered the first work of modern political philosophy, and has given birth to the term Machiacellian, generally a pejorative for deceit and duplicity.Odin's Library Classics is dedicated to bringing the world the best of humankind's literature from throughout the ages.
