Niccolo Machiavelli

Ny udgave med nyt forord af Alex Vanopslagh. Da embedsmanden Niccolò Machiavelli i 1513 skrev Fyrsten, var det med formålet at udøve og fastholde magten i fyrstedømmet Firenze, hvor den indflydelsesrige Medici-familie netop var vendt tilbage til magten. Fyrsten er skrevet i en pessimistisk krisetid og med en opskrift på, hvordan krisen kan løses, og værket bidrog til at indføre realisme og modernitet i europæisk politik. I bogen fremfører Machiavelli sin berømte og berygtede tanke om, at målet helliger midlet, og selvom Fyrsten stadig er et af de mest kontroversielle værker i verdenslitteraturen, er den først og fremmest en tidløs refleksion over det komplicerede forhold mellem folket og styret, mellem menneskene og magten. Alex Vanopslagh har skrevet nyt forord til denne udgave af Fyrsten, der også indeholder efterskrift af oversætter Ole Jorn samt introduktion til de historiske og politiske forhold, som gjorde sig gældende, da Machiavelli skrev sit berømte værk.

Nikkolo Makiavelli, italjanskij filosof i pisatel XV-XVI vekov, ostavil znachitelnoe nasledie v oblasti politicheskoj filosofii. Makiavelli otvergal idealisticheskie vzgljady na politiku, vmesto etogo orientirujas na realizm i pragmatizm. Ego podkhod osnovyvalsja na ponimanii togo, chto politika ne mozhet sledovat moralnym normam, kak eto chasto podrazumevalos v antichnoj filosofii. Makiavelli stal osnovopolozhnikom sovremennogo politicheskogo analiza, ego raboty prodolzhajut vyzyvat interes i obsuzhdenie sredi filosofov, istorikov i politologov. Ego idei vlijali na mnozhestvo razlichnykh epokh i kultur, ot Renessansa do sovremennogo mira. Trudy Makiavelli budut polezny kak dlja liderov, stremjaschikhsja ponjat mekhanizmy vlasti i upravlenija, tak i dlja tekh, kto izuchaet politicheskuju teoriju, istoriju i etiku vlasti. V etu knigu voshli tri truda myslitelja: "Gosudar", "O voennom iskusstve" i "Rassuzhdenija o pervoj dekade Tita Livija". O serii: "Kniga pobed" - kollektsionnaja serija podarochnykh illjustrirovannykh knig, obedinivshaja figury legendarnykh istoricheskikh lichnostej, kotorye vnesli kazhdyj svoj vklad v iskusstvo pobezhdat. Izdanija, voshedshie v seriju, posvjascheny ne tolko premudrostjam voennoj nauki, taktike, strategii, no i vospitaniju dukha, voli i kachestv nastojaschego lidera, neobkhodimykh dlja pobedy. Sobesednikami i uchiteljami vystupajut legendarnye polkovodtsy, mysliteli, gosudarstvennye dejateli. Kazhdaja kniga serii vypolnena v unikalnom dizajne s udlinennym forzatsem, imitirujuschim pechat na obreze, i soprovozhdena bolshim kolichestvom illjustratsij, kotorye pozvoljajut polnee proniknutsja dukhom slavnoj epokhi i luchshe usvoit uroki velikikh. Kniga s unikalnym podarochnym oformleniem stanet nastojaschim ukrasheniem domashnej biblioteki istinnykh knigoljubov i sobiratelej redkikh knig, dostojnym podarkom blizkim i biznes-partneram, a takzhe tsennym istochnikom dlja vsekh, kto interesuetsja voennoj istoriej i ee kljuchevymi figurami, istoriej gosudarstvennogo upravlenija, rolju lichnosti v istorii.

Simvol diplomaticheskoj khitrosti, kladez znanij o gosudarstve i vlasti, neischerpaemyj istochnik politicheskoj mudrosti." Tolko tot, kto obladaet istinnoj doblestju, pri vnezapnom vozvyshenii sumeet ne upustit togo, chto fortuna sama vlozhila emu v ruki". Nikkolo Makiavelli napisal "Gosudarja"v XVI veke, kogda ego rodnaja Florentsija jaro vrazhdovala s drugimi respublikami v Italjanskikh vojnakh. V traktate on oblichil nedobrosovestnye postupki vlastitelej-tiranov, opisal obraz mudrogo pravitelja i vyvel tselyj svod idej ob idealnom upravlenii gosudarstvom. Mnogie iz nikh ostajutsja aktualny do sikh por. Ot avtoraJa ne zabotilsja zdes ni o krasote sloga, ni o pyshnosti i zvuchnosti slov, ni o kakikh vneshnikh ukrashenijakh i zatejakh, kotorymi mnogie ljubjat rastsvechivat i usnaschat svoi sochinenija, ibo zhelal, chtoby moj trud libo ostalsja v bezvestnosti, libo poluchil priznanie edinstvenno za neobychnost i vazhnost predmeta. Ja zhelal by takzhe, chtoby ne sochli derzostju to, chto chelovek nizkogo i nichtozhnogo zvanija beretsja obsuzhdat i napravljat dejstvija gosudarej. Kak khudozhniku, kogda on risuet pejzazh, nado spustitsja v dolinu, chtoby okhvatit vzgljadom kholmy i gory, i podnjatsja na goru, chtoby okhvatit vzgljadom dolinu, tak i zdes: chtoby postignut suschnost naroda, nado prinadlezhat k narodu. Dlja kogo eta knigaDlja tsenitelej klassicheskikh rabot po kulture, istorii, filosofiiDlja tekh, kto khochet pereosmyslit mudrost proshlykh vekov, usovershenstvovav svoi navyki diplomatiiDlja tekh, kto sobiraet klassiku v estetichnom podarochnom oformlenii

Nikkolo Makiavelli chast svoej zhizni posvjatil gosudarstvennoj sluzhbe. Ego opyt i nabljudenija za metodami upravlenija politikov stali osnovoj traktata "Gosudar", izvestnogo segodnja vo vsem mire. Makiavelli v nem vystupil storonnikom silnoj vlasti, radi ukreplenija kotoroj dopuskal i kovarstvo, i predatelstvo, i nasilie. Konechno, podobnoe vyzvalo protivorechivye mnenija, a Katolicheskaja tserkov vnesla ego trud v spiski zapreschennykh knig. I tem ne menee idei etogo istorika i filosofa o metodakh upravlenija, o sposobakh poluchenija vlasti, o tom, kakimi kachestvami dolzhen obladat pravitel i ot chego zavisit uspekh provodimykh im reform, nashli svoe primenenie v oblasti politiki i aktualny po sej den. V knigu voshlo takzhe proizvedenie "O voennom iskusstve", v kotorom avtor, ne buduchi voennym i priobretja svoi znanija v teorii, vyskazal nastolko glubokie idei, chto oni okhvatili samye raznye storony chelovecheskoj zhizni. Raboty Makiavelli stol aforistichny, chto davno razoshlis na tsitaty, kotorye my chasto proiznosim, dazhe ne dogadyvajas, kto ikh avtor. Teksty nastojaschego izdanija snabzheny podrobnymi kommentarijami i illjustratsijami.

The Prince By Niccolò Machiavelli: Dive into the timeless political wisdom of Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince. Written in the early 16th century, this influential treatise offers Machiavelli's insights on power, leadership, and governance. Controversial and pragmatic, it explores the strategies and principles necessary for effective rulership, often challenging conventional morality. Essential reading for students of political theory and history, Machiavelli's work continues to provoke debate and analysis on the nature of political authority and human behavior.

Provocative, brutally honest, and timeless, Machiavelli's The Prince is one of the most important and most misunderstood writings in history. In it, Machiavelli lays bare the reality behind politics as it has always been practiced, teaching leaders to avoid the errors and failings of others while also educating those outside of government about what goes on inside the halls of power. This edition offers a new and lively translation of The Prince, written in fluid modern English that is impressively accurate to the original source. It also includes extensive selections from the Discourses on Livy, together with a range of Machiavelli's other works such as his poetry, his personal correspondence, and the Florentine Histories. The supplemental readings, engaging original introduction, and thorough annotations provided in this edition show the relevance of The Prince to a wide range of themes: human nature, the philosophy of history, and the existential question all rulers face: how to survive in a world that is largely outside of one's control.

The Prince, a classical book, was published more than a century ago and has been considered important throughout the human history, and so that this work is never forgotten we at Alpha Editions have made efforts in its preservation by republishing this book in a modern format for present and future generations. This whole book has been reformatted, retyped and designed. These books are not made of scanned copies of their original work and hence the text is clear and readable.

The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise by the Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccol Machiavelli. From his correspondence, a version appears to have been distributed in 1513, using a Latin title, De Principatibus (Of Principalities). However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. This was carried out with the permission of the Medici pope Clement VII, but "long before then, in fact since the first appearance of The Prince in manuscript, controversy had swirled about his writings". Although The Prince was written as if it were a traditional work in the mirrors for princes style, it is generally agreed that it was especially innovative. This is partly because it was written in the vernacular Italian rather than Latin, a practice that had become increasingly popular since the publication of Dante's Divine Comedy and other works of Renaissance literature. The Prince is sometimes claimed to be one of the first works of modern philosophy, especially modern political philosophy, in which the "effectual" truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal. It is also notable for being in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of the time, particularly those concerning politics and ethics.

The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise written by Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccol Machiavelli as an instruction guide for new princes and royals. The general theme of The Prince is of accepting that the aims of princes - such as glory and survival - can justify the use of immoral means to achieve those ends.
