    The Life and Times of Machiavelli

  • Giuliano de' Medici

    Machiavelli's Prince in Life and Art

    de Eric Cochrane ...
    Series series Longman History of Italy
    This book covers one of the more obscure periods of Italian history. What we know of it is presented almost always pejoratively: an unrelieved tale of political absolution, rural refeudalisation, economic crisis, religious repression and cultural decline. But this picture is both incomplete and inaccurate, and in this important new survey Eric Cochrane has at last given the period its due. ... Leer más
