A collection of insightful and revealing quotations on a wide range of subjects from the father of modern politics

Niccol? Machiavelli (1469-1527) is the father of modern political thought, but he is also one of the greatest writers of the Renaissance and his wisdom and style extend far beyond politics to encompass a compelling philosophy of life as well. In The Quotable Machiavelli, Maurizio Viroli, one of the world's leading Machiavelli scholars, offers a rich collection of the Florentine's most memorable words on a wide range of subjects, including politics, the human condition, religion, love and happiness, antiquity and history, patriotism, and virtue. Drawing on Machiavelli's entire body of writings, and including little-known quotations as well as famous passages, the book shows the full scope of his thought and belies the clich? that he was a "Machiavellian" cynic. In addition to Machiavelli's own words on dozens of subjects of perennial interest, the book includes some almost unknown texts in which his contemporaries describe him. Complete with a biographical introduction, the book serves as a handy reference and a smart and lively introduction to a masterly thinker and writer.

  • Edited and introduced by one of the world's leading Machiavelli scholars
  • Serves as a smart and lively introduction to Machiavelli's life and works
  • Draws on the complete body of Machiavelli's writings

Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) was a Florentine statesman, writer, and political philosopher. His most famous writings are The Prince, The Discourses, The Florentine Histories, and The Art of War.
