Machiavelli Goes to the Movies: Understanding The Prince through Television and Film
ISBN: 9780739195963 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Niccolo Machiavelli s The Prince remains an influential book more than five centuries after he wrote his timeless classic.

Although he thought humans to be rational, self-interested creatures, and even though he proposed an approach to politics in which the ends justify the means, Machiavelli was not, as some have argued, simply a teacher of evil. The Prince s many ancient and medieval examples, while relevant to sixteenth century readers, are lost on most of today s students of Machiavelli....

Reclaiming Catherine of Siena: Literacy, Literature, and the Signs of Others
ISBN: 9780226529103 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

As a result, she has been largely excluded from accounts of the development of European humanism and the language and literature of Italy. Reclaiming Catherine ofSiena makes the case for considering Catherine alongside literary...
