The Prince

Part of the Chiltern Classics Paperback range
His name synonymous with political cunning, Machiavelli worked among the most powerful men in Europe, and in The Prince set down his ideas on how to gain power - and keep it. Iron pragmatism over noble ideals. The ends justify the means. Better to be feared than loved. Condemned as a devil's treatise, lauded as a handbook for successful statecraft, The Prince is a key work in the field of political science.

The Chiltern Publishing paperback range combines elegant design with high-quality craftsmanship.

Each edition is finished with coloured endpapers and generous 90 mm flaps, printed on luxurious 100 gsm cream paper and features sewn paperback binding, ensuring durability while allowing the pages to open comfortably and maintain the strength expected of a premium edition.

Thoughtfully produced and designed to last, the Chiltern Publishing paperback range offers readers a refined reading experience while preserving the timeless aesthetic that defines Chiltern Publishing.
