The Prince, a political composition by Nicolo Machiavelli, was written in 1513.A short composition on how to earn power, create a state, and keep it, The Prince represents Machiavelli's efforts to give a guide for political actions based on the sessions of history and his own incidents as a foreign secretary in Florence. His conviction that politics has its own rules so stunned the readers that the adjectival type of his last name, Machiavellian, came to be used as a synonym for political actions marked by cunning, fraud, or dishonesty. Machiavelli mentioned his composition as De Principatibus (Of Principalities) while writing it, and it circulated in its original copy structure during the 1510s. When Machiavelli died, when it was published in 1532, it carried the title II Principe (The Prince).
Niccol Machiavelli (May 3, 1469-June 21, 1527) was born in Florence. He was an Italian statesman, historian, and political scholar. He worked as a diplomat for 14 years, and later he interacted with the most impressive figures in Europe. His popular composition, The Prince, written in 1513 and published in 1532, is a handbook for rulers. However, devoted to Lorenzo de Medici, leader of Florence from 1513, it failed to win Machiavelli's favor. Machiavelli saw The Prince as an objective portrayal of political reality. His different works include a bunch of discourses for Livy in 1518, the comedy The Mandrake in 1518, The Art of War in 1521, and the Florentine Histories in 1525.
