Review: Common Sense - I think I always envisioned Macchiavelli's famed Prince as some vitriol-laced, slightly scandalous book, written by a maniacally laughing super-villain. That might have been fun, but the reality is much better. Put forth in simple (almost friendly!) terms, the book offers the lowdown on power - people who have it, people who don't, and people who want it. Really, it's all just good common sense. It's absolutely worth the read, both from a historical and educational standpoint. Review: The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli - This book arrived in new condition no blemishes. "The Prince" is a great read for anyone who is interested in military history or wishing to add a political attribute to their character for advancements in any area of life. Had this book several years ago but lost it , I am happy to have this book back in my library. Two thumbs up!

Common Sense
I think I always envisioned Macchiavelli's famed Prince as some vitriol-laced, slightly scandalous book, written by a maniacally laughing super-villain. That might have been fun, but the reality is much better. Put forth in simple (almost friendly!) terms, the book offers the lowdown on power - people who have it, people who don't, and people who want it. Really, it's all just good common sense. It's absolutely worth the read, both from a historical and educational standpoint.

If you really want to understand Putin, or Khomeini, or Obama, read this book written to a Prince in the Middle Ages
This is the best political guide for political leaders, kings, despots, and authority figures of all kinds. You should read it, because i guarantee you that your political masters have read it, and try to apply its guidance every day. Short, readable, and amazing, every student or observer of political life should read this book.

A great and thoughtful read
This is a book that I think everyone should read at least once. It has all of the principles that modern-day leaders should follow. I think anyone can get something from this book and it's written in a very easy and understandable fashion. Also if you're a college student it is a great Book to do an essay on.

This book tells you who to kill!
A tough read. Still, it does give insight of the political machinations that persist throughout millennia

worth it!
The book is in a very convenient format so it is nice to carry it with you and read it on the go. In fact, I found this book a kind of difficult but very thought-provoking and interesting. This is a kind of book every educated person must read.

The Prince
Delivered quickly, and brand new. I definitely recommend this book for anybody in business. I have my own business and I love books like this, it allows you to think differently than how we're taught. This and the art of war should both be mandatory for business owners and anyone in a corporate environment.

Necessary read, but not always enjoyable
I wish I'd read this sooner. I side with critics who say the work is satire, hence contradicts himself enough for this not to be taken too seriously. But it was curiously relevant.

Good translation, great price and of course an excellent and easy to read classic of a book.

One of the most well written book i have read, everyone must read.

Even though translation is a bit off it is still understandable. I would recommend the book for those who would like have an insight how kingdoms were managed back in time and how kings dealt with the external threats for them and their kingdom.

No much to say about this book apart than it's the one I wanted so I bought it

Tanıtımda verilmiş olan ebatlar tutmuyor.Gönderilen ürün 10.5x18x1 iken açıklamada 21x13.5x1 olarak verilmiştir.Bu ve benzeri nedenlerle iade edildiğinde ise fazla izde ediyorsunuz hesabınızı donuracağız gibi yazılar geliyor.Sayfa sayısı aynı ama boyutlar küçülmüş.Yazı karakteri mi küçülmüş yoksa kısaltılmış baskı mı?
