The Prince - Niccolò Machiavelli (Size: 106.8 MB)
DescriptionWritten by Niccolò Machiavelli Read by Shelly Frasier Format: MP3 Bitrate: 64 Kbps Unabridged Listening Length: 3 hours and 55 minutes The Prince has long been both praised and reviled for its message of moral relativism and political expediency. Although a large part is devoted to the mechanics of gaining and staying in power, Machiavelli's end purpose is to maintain a just and stable government. He is not ambiguous in stating his belief that committing a small cruelty to avert a larger one is not only justifiable, but required of a just ruler. Machiavelli gives a vivid portrayal of his world: the chaos and tumult of early 16th-century Florence, Italy and Europe. He uses both his contemporary political situation and that of the classical period to illustrate his precepts of statecraft. Related Torrents
