Had i finished this book a few months ago when I first got it, I might have rated it two stars. At the time - reading the first half of the book, I disagreed with most of Machiavelli's point of views and thought he was barbaric. I dropped the book, and only returned to it last night. How did two stars turn out to four you may ask? Well, he remains barbaric, but behind the savage lies a level of remarkable ingenuity that you can't help but stand in awe at the wit and transparency previewed.

In questo periodo sto leggendo poco e male e soprattutto, la gran parte di quello che leggo è per l'università. Ma finirà questo periodo, no?!

Questo libro è talmente un classico che non so bene cosa scrivere. Personalmente, non sono molto d'accordo con la visione del buon Niccolò, forse anche per quello ho deciso di dargli "solo" quattro stelline, ma di sicuro non ne nego la genialità. E poi, fa talmente parte della nostra eredità culturale nel mondo, dove è studiato in tutte le università quando si tratta di relazioni internazionali, che non leggerlo sarebbe stato un crimine.

From the man so evil they named a character archetype after him. As someone who doesn't typically enjoy essays, The Prince held my attention better than I expected; a fact I attribute to the sheer audacity of this book at times.
