Prince (Barnes & Noble Collectible Classics: Pocket Edition)

'It is safer to be feared than loved.' These words embody the spirit of The Prince Niccolo Machiavelli's classic work of political philosophy. Machiavelli's advice for how a ruler should acquire and ruthlessly exercise power over others continues to be relevant to contemporary readers more than five centuries after it was first published. This is one of Barnes & Noble's 'Collectible Editions' classics. Each volume features authoritative texts by the world's greatest authors in an elegantly designed bonded-leather binding with distinctive gilt edging. Durable and collectible these volumes are an indispensable cornerstone of every home library.
