Zusammenfassung:Why did Machiavelli write 'The Prince' - and why did Church and political authorities find it so threatening? 500 years after Machiavelli first told friends that he had written a 'little work' on principalities, this book tries to answer these questions. It offers a chapter-by-chapter reading of 'The Prince' as a masterwork of ironic writing with a moral purpose to teach readers how to recognise hidden dangers in political conduct that appears great or praiseworthy, and in misleading promises of quick and easy solutions to their troubles.
