Notă biografică

Niccolò Machiavelli was an Italian philosopher and writer, and is considered one of the founders of modern political science. He was a diplomat and civil servant in the Florentine Republic in the sixteenth century, until arrested for conspiracy in 1513 after which he gave his time to writing. Tom Butler–Bowdon is the author of five bestselling books on classic self–help and motivational writing. He has been described by USA Today as a true scholar of this type of literature.
His first book, 50 Self–Help Classics, won the 2004 Benjamin Franklin award. www.butler–bowdon.com
