Florentine History. Translated by W.K. Marriott

Originally published in 1532, Florentine History is a classic work of Italian Renaissance literature. Written by the famed political philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli, the book chronicles the history of Florence from its founding to the expulsion of the Medici family in 1494. Machiavelli's keen observation and analysis of the political and social forces at play in Renaissance Italy make this work a must-read for students of history and philosophy.
