Prince

The Prince is a political treatise by Niccolò Machiavelli, written around 1513 and published posthumously in 1532. Originally titled De Principatibus, it discusses the acquisition and maintenance of political power, offering pragmatic advice to rulers. The work is notable for its candid exploration of political realism, diverging from the moralistic approaches of its time, and has had a lasting influence on political theory and practice.
