In The Essential Writings of Machiavelli, Peter Constantine has assembled a comprehensive collection that shows the true depth and breadth of a great Renaissance thinker. Refreshingly accessible, these superb new translations are faithful to Machiavellis original, beautifully crafted writings.
The volume features essays that appear in English for the first time, such as A Caution to the Medici and The Persecution of Africa. Also included are complete versions of the political treatise, The Prince, the comic satire The Mandrake, The Life of Castruccio Castracani, and the classic story Belfagor , along with selections from The Discourses, The Art of War, and Florentine Histories. Augmented with useful featuresvital and concise annotations and cross-referencesthis unique compendium is certain to become the standard one-volume reference to this influential, versatile, and ever timely writer.
Machiavelli's stress on political necessity rather than moral perfection helped inspire the Renaissance by renewing links with Thucydides and other classical thinkers. This new collection provides deeper insight into Machiavellis personality as a writer, thus broadening our understanding of him.
Robert D. Kaplan, author of Warrior Politics: Why Leadership Demands a Pagan Ethos
Constantines selection is not only intelligent; his translations are astonishingly good. Thoughtfully introduced by Albert Russell Ascoli, this edition belongs in everyones library.

If one were to assign a single edition of Machiavelli's works, this most certainly would be it.

Introduction by Albert Russell Ascoli
The first modern treatise of political philosophy, The Prince is one of the worlds most influential and widely read books. Machiavelli reveals nothing less than the secrets of power: how to gain it, how to wield it, and how to keep it. Ruthless, cunning, and amoral, The Prince is a controversial analysis of manipulation and an essential guide for anyone interested in conquest, self-defense, or observation of dominance and control. The Introduction by noted Italian Renaissance scholar Albert Russell Ascoli provides a perfect opening to Peter Constantines illuminating new translation of this seminal work.
Constantine elegantly captures in English the pith of Machiavellis brilliant Italian prose. Edward Muir, Clarence L. Ver Steeg Professor in the Arts and Sciences, Northwestern University [via]More editions of The Prince:
