Great book worthy of close study
A classic! The standard view of Machiavelli as an "end justifies the means" misses the most significant message in this little book. A subtle argument in favor of the unification of Italy several centuries before the actual fact, and a powerful call to break the power of the pope and the Italian nobility is presented in subtle and carefully crafted prose. An excellent dissection of power, political and otherwise.

The great book(偉大な著作)
(To English-spaking readers) This is one of the greatest classic of politics and the first book expressed political philosophy of realism. The Prince is a short essay but what is says is pregnant with meaning. This is worth reading today. This English version is relied on the version edited by Mazzoni and Casella,which is established that it was the best text of The Prince in Italy. So,this translation can be very reliable. And this translation by George Bull is intelligible,so it's easy to read not only to English-speaking people but to Japanese! (日本の読者に) この本は、もっとも偉大な政治学の古典の一つであり、リアリズムの政治哲学を披露した最初の著作である。『君主論』は文章としては短いが、その内容は含蓄に富んでおり、現代においても読む価値がある。 この英訳版は、マッツォーニ=カゼッラ版――これは、イタリアにおいて最も優れた『君主論』のテクストとしての地位を確立している――に依拠している。そのため、非常に信頼できる翻訳になっている。また、ジョージ・ブルによる翻訳はわかりやすく、英語圏の人々のみならず、日本人にも読みやすい。
