Description: New. The author of "The Prince"--his controversial handbook on power, which is one of the most influential books ever written--NiccolO Machiavelli (1469-1527) was no prince himself. Born to an established middle-class family, Machiavelli worked as a court... read more
"This short bio reveals Machiavelli to be a true *character* with many quirks, gifts and failings, and in general to be much more endearing than his Prince inspired reputation allows. His life was peopled with a Who's Who of famous Florentines, so the setting of his bio is at least as interesting as his personality."
"For what it is, this is a fine volume. I prefer, I must confess, longer biographies. But this is meant as a brief introduction to an important thinker, part of the "Eminent Lives" series.
This book follows Machiavelli's career, from a successful career as a diplomat to an outcast, as power positions changed, to--at the end of his life--something of a player again.
The book considers some of his major works--plays and political tracts, although I wish that there were more detail on both fronts.
In the final analysis, a good brief introduction to Machiavelli, his life and his work."
