The work "The Prince" is considered a small masterpiece of Machiavelli, a kind of guide for state builders, entangled in numerous legends and filled with quotes falsely attributed to great rulers. Yet undoubtedly, this manifesto on governance and the structure of the state is a kind of watershed between medieval and modern political thought. It was written during the most turbulent times in the history of Italy, when huge states clashed over rich but weak regional autonomies, trying to conquer them.
In the treatise, Niccolò Machiavelli summarizes his achievements during his 15-year tenure as the secretary of Florence. Thus, from his own experience, he outlines the traits and virtues of the ideal ruler, analyzes the reasons behind human actions, and for the first time separates politics from morality. The book "The Prince" was banned in France in 1599, accusing the author of spreading ideas of political corruption.
