Descripciones mejoradas de Syndetics:

'El príncipe' es para muchos el primer tratado moderno sobre el arte de gobernar. Su autor, Nicolás Maquiavelo (1469-1527), pasó más de una década al frente de la diplomacia de la República de Florencia. Pero ni su ingenio ni sus dotes negociadoras lo libraron de las luchas políticas, y el regreso de los Medici a su ciudad lo abocó a la soledad del exilio. Nuestro autor sabía muy bien, pues, cómo se ejercía el poder real y desde esta perspectiva escribió su obra. Quería instruir sobre los mecanismos de gobierno y avisar contra las estrategias de los tiranos, aunque sus consejos fueron a menudo malinterpretados, como muestra el uso que todavía hoy damos al término «maquiavélico». Con todo, sigue siendo un texto de referencia que defiende ideas tan actuales como «pesa más lo que percibe el ciudadano que la realidad a la que se enfrenta». En tiempos de «posverdad», nada más útil que su lectura.



'The Prince', for many is the first modern treatise about the art of governing. Its author, Nicholas Machiavelli (1469-1527), spent more than a decade at the forefront of diplomacy For the Republic of Florence. Neither his ingenuity nor his negotiating skills freed him from political struggles, and the return of the Medici to his to his city led him to being abolished to exile. Our author was very knowledgeable, how the royal power was exercised, and from this perspective he wrote his work. He loved to instruct on the mechanisms of government and warn against the strategies of tyrants, although his advice was often misunderstood, he showed us the use of and gave us the term that is still in use today, «Machiavellian». However, it continues to be a reference text that defends current ideas such as «What the citizen perceives weighs more than the reality one faces». In times of «Post-Truth» nothing is more useful than reading.
