Niccolò Machiavelli

Henry Neville

Best known as the political theorist who wrote The Prince, Machiavelli considered The Art of War his most important work. His revolutionary 1520 work clearly states and discusses military organization and strategy: handling recruitment and weapons, motivating troops, demoralizing enemies, and achieving tactical and strategic advantages.

The Art of War

Thomas More

Francis Bacon

A unique edition of three early modern utopian texts, using a contemporary translation of More's Utopia and examining the Renaissance world view as shown by these writers. The edition includes the illustrative material that accompanied early editions of Utopia, full chronologies of the authors, notes, and glossary.

Thomas More: Utopia / Francis Bacon: New Atlantis / Henry Neville: The Isle of Pines

Three Early Modern Utopias

Henry Neville (1620-1694) foi um político, escritor e satirista inglês, mais lembrado por este panfleto utópico, The Isle of Pines, publicado originalmente em 1668. Contudo, no período em que participou do Parlamento e do Conselho de Estado, entre 1649 e 1651, se opôs veementemente a Oliver Cromwell, contra quem escreveu e publicou alguns textos políticos. Também traduziu Machiavel para o inglês na década de 1670 e, dando seguimento às suas críticas à Charles II, escreveu Plato Redivivus em 1680, considerada sua obra filosófica da maturidade e onde argumentava, por meio de um diálogo político, que o número crescente de proprietários na Inglaterra exigia uma distribuição mais ampla e equânime do poder político, desenvolvendo mais profundamente ideias que estão apenas esboçadas neste The Isle of Pines. Esta é a primeira tradução integral do texto de The Isle of Pines para o português, pois a única outra edição conhecida é de 1761 e foi feita em Lisboa, a partir de uma versão parcial para o francês publicada nos Países Baixos ainda no século XVII.

The Works of ... Nicolas Machiavel ...

This special edition of "The Art of War" & "The Prince" by Machiavelli unites both of Machiavelli's volumes on strategy together, so that the philosophy and mechanisms for obtaining power and managing power may be seen as a single entity. Possessed of a great intellect, Niccolo Machiavelli was uniquely suited to examine and explain the important details of statecraft. Machiavelli, like Plato and Pythagoras and Confucius two hundred odd decades before him, saw only one method by which a thinking man, himself not powerful, might do the work of state building, and that was by seizing the imagination of a Prince. With these writings, he has influenced the history of the world. Other special editions in this series dealing with the subject of warfare and strategy include: The Art of War By Sun Tzu - Special EditionThe Art of War By Mao Tse-tung - Special EditionThe Art of War By Baron De Jomini - Special Edition

Thomas More: Utopia/ Francis Bacon: New Atlantis/Henry Neville: The Isle of Pines With the publication of Utopia (1516), Thomas More introduced into the English language not only a new word, but a new way of thinking about the gulf between what ought to be and what is. His Utopia is at once a scathing analysis of the shortcomings of his own society, a realistic suggestion for an alternative mode of social organization, and a satire on unrealistic idealism. Enormously influential, it remains a challenging as well as a playful text. This edition reprints Ralph Robinson's 1556 translation from More's original Latin together with letters and illustrations that accompanied early editions of Utopia. Utopia was only one of many early modern treatments of other worlds. This edition also includes two other, hitherto less accessible, utopian narratives. New Atlantis (1627) offers a fictional illustration of Francis Bacon's visionary ideal of the role that science should play in the modern society. Henry Neville's The Isle of Pines (1668), a precursor of Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, engages with some of the sexual, racial, and colonialist anxieties of the end of the early modern period. Together these texts illustrate the diversity of the early modern utopian imagination, as well as the different purposes to which it could be put. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
