A review by ahmed_suliman
The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli

3.0

The depiction of human behavior in the book highlights the darker aspects of our nature and reveals the true extent of human capacity for evil. By delving into historical examples and drawing parallels to contemporary politics, the author argues that humans have consistently exhibited manipulative and self-serving tendencies throughout the centuries.The exploration of the basics of evil throughout history resonates with the present political scene. He argues that politicians must be willing to employ deceit, manipulation, and even violence to maintain and consolidate their power. This unflinching portrayal of human nature exposes the inherent flaws in our political systems and raises uncomfortable questions about the ethics of leadership.

And here's the most notable quote liked in the book :
"Men judge generally more by the eye than by the hand, for everyone can see and few can feel. Everyone sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are."
