nice translation5
This book is considered classic for a reason. It is almost encyclopedic in its analysis of power situations. Marriott's translation of Machiavelli is fluent and nuanced. The supplemental material in this ebook on Machiavelli's life puts his writings in context, and shows that his empirical tone is genuine and informed by direct experience.
