Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Niccolò Machiavelli (1469 - 1527) was a Florentine writer, philosopher, and political theorist active at a time of great chaos and turmoil throughout Italy. He is best-known for writing The Prince, a handbook for the ruling Medici family on how to most effectively run a principality. Due to The Prince being his best-known work, coupled with the fact that few who quote it have actually read it, Machiavelli's name has become a byword for being a ruthless, manipulative, backstabbing bastard; so much so that in Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, Machiavelli is presented as one who has made a Deal with the Devil, and the term Old Nick to refer to The Devil may also be derived from his forename. |
