🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
Alma classics, a version that was translated and published in 2009
So this is a guidebook on how to be a good ruler in 1500s Italy.
It has many connotations but clearly it is wrong to try to apply this to all leaders or all societies.
It does recommend to focus on the ruling and go cruel, but it was probably what was needed back then.
And the words are straightforward, and references a lot to the history especially the Roman empire.
And gives practical advices on how to behave.
As they say, a quintessentially Renaissance man.
