The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise by Niccolo Machiavelli.

Throughout his lifetime and in the years that followed, Machiavelli, an Italian diplomat, was best known for his strategic thinking in the world of politics and power.

Machiavelli’s writings have remained timely and highly controversial. The Prince is often claimed to be one of the first works of modern philosophy, especially modern political philosophy, in which the effective truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal.
