Product Description
Webster's paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running English-to-Arabic thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of The Prince & Other Stories by Nicolo Machiavelli was edited for three audiences. The first includes Arabic-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL� or TOEIC� preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled in bilingual education programs or Arabic speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Arabic in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement� (AP�) or similar examinations. By using the Webster's Arabic Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Arabic or English.

Book Description

Il Principe (The Prince) is a political treatise by the Florentine public servant and political theorist Niccol? Machiavelli. Originally called De Principatibus (About Principalities), it was written in 1513, but not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. The treatise is not actually representative of the work published during his lifetime, but it is certainly the most remembered, and the one responsible for bringing "Machiavellian" into wide usage as a pejorative term.

Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG-- Nicolo Machiavelli was born at Florence on 3rd May 1469. He was the second son of Bernardo di Nicolo Machiavelli, a lawyer of some repute, and of Bartolo-mmea di Stefano Nelli, his wife. Both parents were members of the old Florentine nobility. His life falls naturally into three periods, each of which singularly enough constitutes a distinct and important era in the history of Florence. His youth was concurrent with the greatness of Florence as an Italian power under the guidance of Lorenzo de' Medici, Il Magnifico. The downfall of the Medici in Florence occurred in 1494, in which year Machiavelli entered the public service. During his official career Florence was free under the government of a Republic, which lasted until 1512, when the Medici returned to power, and Machiavelli lost his office. The Medici again ruled Florence from 1512 until 1527, when they were once more driven out. This was the period of Machiavelli's literary activity and increasing influence; but he died, within a few weeks of the expulsion of the Medici, on 22nd June 1527, in his fifty-eighth year, without having regained office. ...
