Description
In the four and a half centuries since Machiavelli's death, no single and unanimously accepted interpretation of his ideas has succeeded in imposing itself upon the lively debate over the meaning of his works. Yet there has never been any doubt about the fundamental importance of Machiavelli's contribution to Western political theory. The Portable Machiavellibrings together the complete texts of The Prince, Belfagor, and Castruccio Castracani, newly translated by Peter Bondanella and Mark Musa especially for this volume. In addition, the editors include an abridged version of The Discourses; a play, The Mandrake Root, in its entirety; seven private letters; and selections from The Art of Warand The History of Florence.

Fantastic books that not only contains the works of Machiavelli but has exceptional commentary on them. The thing i like most about this book is that it contains The Mandrake Root; the comedic play that no one seems to know exists. It is over looked so much, but not in this book. I highly reccomend
