Published in the early 16th century, 'Ruhtinas' (The Prince) is a political treatise by Niccolò Machiavelli, aimed at rulers seeking to maintain or enhance their power. Written during the Italian Renaissance, it addresses the political landscape of fragmented city-states and offers pragmatic advice on governance. Notably controversial, it was once listed among the banned books by the Church and has sparked debate for its candid exploration of realpolitik. The work remains influential in both political theory and modern business practices.
