About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Prince, by Niccolo Machiavelli; translated by W. K. Marriott, from Gutenberg e-text, in the public domain. For details of the readers, please visit the LibriVox catalog page for this work. ll Principe (The Prince) is a political treatise by the Florentine writer Niccolo Machiavelli, originally called "De Principatibus" (About Principalities). It was written around 1513, but not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. The treatise is not actually representative of his published work during his lifetime, but it is certainly the best remembered one. (Summary from Wikipedia.org)
