The Prince (napoleon's Annotated Edition)
About This Novel
On June 18, 1815, someone discovered some books and documents in Napoleon Bonaparte's carriage, including a manuscript... What is surprising is that this manuscript is not only a new translation of "The Prince", but also has comments written by Bonaparte on the margins. These comments cover the multiple periods when he served as a general, consul, emperor, and even when he was exiled on the island of Elba. Bonaparte's different commentaries are closely related to different social situations and political situations, and together they form a very valuable review, allowing one to discern without prejudice which of Machiavelli's words were addressed to the "new prince" and which to others... The essence of Machiavelli's thought will be presented in this edition of ours. This book adopts the authoritative English version of "The Prince" and the French text of Napoleon's annotations. The two translations are compared and compared to show in detail the different contents of Napoleon's annotations to "The Prince" in the four periods of general, consul, emperor, and exile. It helps people deepen their understanding of "The Prince" and Napoleon. It is a "governed book" particularly cherished by Western political circles.
