Description
Niccolò Machiavelli wrote The Prince in 1513, and five centuries later it remains the most clear-eyed book ever written about power — how it is won, how it is held, and how it is lost. This edition presents W. K. Marriott's classic 1908 English translation, carefully prepared for comfortable reading on your phone.
There are no ads. No tracking. No account. No subscription. The book is yours to read and yours to keep.
LISTEN ANYWHERE
Built-in narration reads any chapter aloud and highlights each word as it is spoken. Playback keeps going with the screen locked, and you can control it from the lock screen and Control Center — on a walk, on the train, or with your eyes closed.
FIND ANY PASSAGE
Full-text search takes you straight to the line you remember — the fox and the lion, fortune as a river, whether it is better to be feared than loved. Tap a result and you are there.
READ YOUR WAY
Choose your type size, your theme, and your page-turn style. Light, dark, and paper modes. Bookmark any passage and it stays put through every change of font and layout.
A POCKET EDITION
All twenty-six chapters and the dedication to Lorenzo de' Medici, in eleven languages — including Machiavelli's original Italian. The Latin lines from Virgil and the closing verse of Petrarch are kept in the original, each with a plain modern gloss.
From Public Domain Books, a small library of carefully prepared classics. Companion editions include Marcus Aurelius's Meditations, Sun Tzu's The Art of War, and Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich.
Yours, forever. Read, listen, and return.
