Machiavelli in Hell
Author(s): Sebastian De Grazia
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize In this intellectual biography, Sebastian de Grazia presents a new vision of Machiavelli that evokes, with uncanny precision, the great Florentine thinker s presence. After providing an engrossing account of Machiavelli's childhood and the period following his imprisonment and torture, the book turns to an examination of The Prince. The details of Machiavelli s life never cease to weave in and out of the narrative, as we read how his ideas gather power and coalesce into a unified vision of humankind and the world. De Grazia s achievement is to present a totally comprehensive view of Machiavelli mediated entirely through Machiavelli's own language. Journal of Modern History"
