Book Reviews of The Prince
Book Review: A true-to-form rendition of a classic treatise
Summary: 4 Stars
The trick to selecting an edition of classic literature among the multitude of choices is finding one that faithfully reproduces the author's original intent while providing sufficient background information for the uninitiated. This edition of "The Prince" fits the bill nicely. It can't be called an easy read due to the numerous contemporary (to Machiavelli) references.
Nevertheless, the added notes detailing the circumstances of which Machiavelli writes strike an excellent balance between practical brevity and useful completeness. Readers will find the text readable providing one invests the effort required to absorb the material. The level of difficulty may frustrate at first, but ultimately enriches the experience as the reader's effort is rewarded with a deeper understanding of Machiavelli's message.
The value of Machiavelli's work speaks for itself. If you've already decided to buy "The Prince" yet struggle with the decision of "which edition" as I did, you won't go wrong with this one.
