Overview
A vivid portrayal of the great Italian philosopher - now in paperback
In NiccolĆ²'s Smile, Maurizio Viroli brings to life the fascinating writer who was the founder of modern political thought. NiccolĆ² Machiavelli's works on the theory and practice of statecraft are classics, but Viroli sugggests that his greatest accomplishment is his robust philosophy of life -- his deep beliefs about how one should conduct oneself as a modern citizen in a republic, as a responsible family member, as a good person. On these subjects Machiavelli wrote no books: the text of his philosophy is his life itself, a life that was filled with paradox, uncertainty, and tragic drama.
