La storia si svolge a Firenze nel 1504. Callimaco innamorato di Lucrezia, moglie dello sciocco dottore in legge messer Nicia. Con l'aiuto del servo Siro e dell'astuto amico Ligurio, Callimaco, in veste di famoso medico, riesce a convincere messer Nicia che l'unico modo per avere figli sia di somministrare a sua moglie una pozione di mandragola (da qui il titolo della commedia), ma il primo che avr rapporti con lei morir . Ligurio trova presto una geniale soluzione: a morire sar un semplice garzone, cosa che tranquillizza parzialmente Nicia, il quale resta comunque perplesso, visto che qualcuno dovr andare a letto con sua moglie. Naturalmente Ligurio ha pensato all'amico Callimaco, che spasima per Lucrezia: infatti non vi sar nessun garzone come vittima predestinata, bens sar lo stesso Callimaco a travestirsi da tale. In una famosa e molto divertente scena, il garzone-Callimaco viene colpito e portato a casa di Nicia, e poi infilato nel letto insieme a Lucrezia. Questa, che nel frattempo stata convinta a consumare il rapporto adulterino da fra' Timoteo, accetta, e nel momento in cui scopre la vera identit di Callimaco, acconsente alla fine a diventare sua amante. Dopo la notte degli inganni, riassunte le sembianze del medico, Callimaco ottiene dallo stesso Nicia, contento della futura paternit , il permesso di abitare in casa sua e quindi, inconsapevolmente, di godere delle grazie di Lucrezia.

Niccol Machiavelli Machiavelli has created a ruthless guide on how to rule the country in his volume "The Prince." The book is dedicated to Lorenzo De Medici, the ruler of Florence. The author explains in simple language about the nature of great men and the characters of the government. The first chapter gives an outline of the book discussing various styles of ruling as a prince, character traits that a ruler should have and the political situation of Italy in the 16th century. The book is composed of 26 chapters which fall into four major sections. In part one Machiavelli discusses the four types of principalities. The first type is hereditary princedoms meaning they are inherited by the ruler. There are also mixed principalities which are seized by force, civic principalities which are acquired by various criminal methods and finally ecclesiastical principalities influenced by the church. Machiavelli outlines how to maintain a newly acquired territory as these various types of principalities.

Packaged in handsome, affordable trade editions, Clydesdale Classics is a new series of essential works. From the musings of intellectuals such as Thomas Paine in Common Sense to the striking personal narrative of Harriet Jacobs in Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, this new series is a comprehensive collection of our intellectual history through the words of the exceptional few. Widely acknowledged as Machiavelli s defining work, The Prince is an innovative and rich treatise marked by his political theories and the principles of leadership. Based upon his own experiences witnessing the actions of great men and the often immoral aspects that come with power, Machiavelli encouraged ambition amongst leaderswhich was a break from the philosophy of other contemporary thinkers. The Prince identifies the aims of powerful leaders, which can help to justify the use of largely immoral means in their methods. With a new foreword by scholar Christopher Celenza, this essential work on politics contemplates leadership in a manner still relevant today. This lesson in autocratic rule will provide the reader with the author s rational approach to control and the contextualization for the term Machiavellian. "
