Who was Niccolo Machiavelli? Accent on Power: The Life and Times of Machiavelli by Valeriu, a book in an elegant leather binding.

Who was Niccolo Machiavelli?

Many of us remember Machiavelli's famous quote:

"Therefore, since a prince is obliged to know how to use beasts, he should choose a fox and a lion, for a lion cannot help against nets, a fox cannot help against wolves. Therefore, one must be a fox to know oneself in nets, and a lion to scare away wolves."

Niccolo di Bernardo dei Machiavelli (born May 3, 1469 in Florence, died June 21, 1527 in Sant'Andrea in Percussina near Florence) - lawyer, philosopher, social and political writer, historian and Florentine diplomat, one of the the most eminent representatives of Renaissance political thought.

We do not want to spoiler and reveal the full content, so we will focus on the packaging, i.e. a luxurious leather binding. Modest, minimalist cover, spine with convex ties, deep embossing and gilding. Card cutouts and endpapers hand-decorated with a marbled pattern. These details mean that there are no two identical copies in the world.

"Where there are great desires, the obstacles cannot be too great" - wrote Niccolo, so do not hesitate to buy!

Most of the items we offer are white ravens, so their availability is limited.
