Book Reviews of The Mandrake.
Book Review: Ha! HERE's Machiavelli!
Summary: 5 Stars
Machiavelli is known (and pretty much only known) for "The Prince", but take that as his definitive work and you get a picture of him as some kind of apologist for despots. That is as far from the truth as it gets. Machivelli was not Machiavellian and this brilliant play proves it. A biting and amusing satire against, of all things, corruption! Machivelli wrote this to prove that there was more to him than "The Prince", but, sadly, no one listened. If you study "The Prince", study this as well. It fills out the picture of Machiavelli as an honest, devout, and patriotic visionary. Read the Mandrake, and forget everything you think you know about Machiavelli!
