Prince, The by Niccolò Machiavelli (1469 - 1527) LibriVox ll Principe (The Prince) is a political treatise by the Florentine writer Niccolò Machiavelli, originally called “De Principatibus” (About Principalities). It was written around 1513, but not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli’s death. The treatise is not actually representative of his published work during his lifetime, but it is certainly the best remembered one.(Summary from Wikipedia.org) Discourses on the First Decade of Titus Livius, Book 2 by Niccolò Machiavelli Loyal Books In "Discourses on the First Decade of Titus Livius", posthumous work by the author of The Prince, Machiavelli discusses the useful lessons that could be learnt from the past for the present. As the title mentions, the subject of the work is the first ten books of Livy's Ab urbe condita, which cover the expansion of Rome from the legendary monarchy of Romulus to the end of the Third Samnite War . The whole work contains three books, with 142 numbered chapters - perhaps not a coincidence, since Livy's history also contained 142 books. In the second book, the author discusses decisions made by the Roman people pertaining to the increase of its empire. - Summary by Leni Voce ai libri - Intesa Sanpaolo On Air Silvia Nucini – Intesa Sanpaolo e Chora Media Chi sono le scrittrici e gli scrittori di oggi?
