Machiavelli's famed treatise has had a profound impact on both political and philosophical since it was first published in the 16th-century.

The Prince is Niccolo Machiavelli's handbook on power and politics.

This treatise, which gave rise to the term 'Macchiavellian', spurns idealism and presents a brave, pragmatic and at times brutal guide to governance.

How does a ruler win respect? Should a ruler be feared rather than loved? Machiavelli grapples these questions with a tough-minded candour and insight.

Still controversial to this day, The Prince has had a remarkable influence on modern political thought.
