A mistake not to commit. Machiavelli is just the opposite. Almost one could find everything and its opposite. Also we never come completely free from his reading and it is certain that this is one of the books that marks a political career, intellectual and philosophical.
This edition is a true marvel. Although it is necessary to have it put the price you can not be disappointed. Containing both the Italian and French text face to face he shows an exemplary translation, intelligent and important comments, notes instructive a treat. One could draw all the stuff at the end of the life of a man or a woman.
If you want to discover the work of Machiavelli and his influence is the reference. But know that if you even start if the pot is sticky and you will suffer the door by hand and arm and the body struck by it. Indeed much has been written books about it and not the least.
Now you know what to expect.
