This is an audiobook of The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli, narrated by Clive Catterall.


Coming to power is the easy part. Retaining power is what's really difficult. As Shakespeare wrote, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown". A prince has no shortage of difficulties -- revolt, revolution, other monarchs, the army, the people, and many other adversarial prospects. And not everything a prince does will be received well; and even those policies that are received well by some of the populace will surely anger others. Further, just because a plan worked once does not mean it will work again. Written during a time when the Church wielded considerable power, The Prince was shocking due to the immoral suggestions Machiavelli made in order for a prince to ensure their power.
