Developing
The book is located in Italy created in 1513 which Machiavelli dedicated it to Lorenzo de Medicí, now I will give them a small description of Nicolás Machiavelli because it is important to let the characteristics of the author of that book know, Nicolás was a writer who It was very important at the time of the Renaissance of Italy, he was political and made known several ways of how to be a leader or being a good ruler in his time, of which the next generations would be guided to apply these knowledge given by him. The principle of the book tells us about the Renaissance of Italy, in which many wars occurred from which powerful cities were created that to date are well known called Milan, Florence, Venice, recognized for having spectacular art and architecture, but to the These beautiful cities and states were created only to exist rivalries between them, and wars were made that all they brought were misfortunes to the people who lived those states, at the beginning of the book there are also talk about the story of Nicolás which from which from Very small, he had already realized the power that the money and the power that politics had at that time had, and I read the book I realized that at that time religion also had a lot of power, since in some chapters There was talk of people who were from the church who had a lot of power to govern a city, Nicolas created the book dedicated to Lorenzo Médicis because the Medicis conquered Florence Where Machiavelli worked as secretary secretary, so when the Medicis came to conquer they removed everyone who worked there, leaving Nicolás without employment and from there he went to a small little house that had a few hours from Florence where he began to devote himself Time for him, to reflect and to write, at night it was when he was writing about his knowledge he knew about the politics and wisdom he understood about the men of past times of Rome and that is how he creates "the prince" And he is dedicated to Lorenzo Médicis because Machiavelli wants to return to his work, and think that by giving this book to Lorenzo he would use it again, but he receives the book in 1516 and was published in 1531, 4 years after his death. The book as I said in the introduction is about the ways of becoming a prince, how many guys are there and how to lose the title of Prince, what just explained to them was only the prologue that is very important to read, since if you do not read We could not understand what remains from the book I will now continue with what has been the most important part of the book that are the explanations of the types of princes, I will explain a few types that I remember that I think that they are the most important , one of them is the one that becomes a prince by inheritance, which is easy to explain is when the position is moving in the family that has been reigning for a long period a population could be said, at that time society was society accustomed to being led by a prince, who could be the same as the actuality that we have a president who is the one who leads us, and also at that time there were societies that were accustomed to living in freedom, Creating their own laws without anyone leading them, in a few words an autonomous society, those types of societies were conquered by destroying them then settled in them, and finally leave the laws that the city had before being conquered, and established a government formed For few people who belonged to that city because it was said that a society remained conquered for longer if there were members of the city in the government. Another way to become the principality were the new ones who were the opposite of the hereditary, since as the hereditary ones are achieved by the family and when they were established, everything was already done instead the new ones began from scratch, these was more difficult than more difficult than They kept the Prince's position, since it was difficult What left some that the states that were conquering continue with the laws that had previously, the new princes arose by luck or because the person had many virtues. Other princes were the ecclesiastics who are the religious these were supported by the Church, this form of government for what I read was that being in power it was easier because they did not have many concerns because they did not direct their states, as well as the subjects Nor did they care about their government, these princes emerged by luck or their virtues as well as new principalities and are considered as the only princes that can live happy, because other types suffered difficulties to be able to stay in the post, except for the hereditary who were given the position only for being from the family and did not suffer to be prince of a state. The civilians understood that they were those who managed to be princes with the help of the people or friends, this type of conqueror also depended a little on fortune, in that chapter something that also looked was that he said that to stay longer in power, he He needed to earn the affection of the people who lived there, which was easy to conserve, since they only ask that they be treated in a good way and their freedom is not removed, there is also talk that there are many ways in which the Prince can win a town, but that the most important is what I just mentioned that it is to get their friendship. It is also explained that it can become principality through crimes that, as the name says, are those that came to that position through bad behaviors, committing crimes, violating the laws, which some could help create a good government and stay quite a while, since they used their crimes, it could be said that in an intelligent way that helped them conserve their government for a reasonable time. In a chapter there was also talk about the use of soldiers who were mercenaries in governments which the prince requested to defend his state in some circumstances, but it is mentioned that these mercenaries are bad people and that they can become not useful that nothing that nothing But they cause misfortunes to the State, since they have no order, to request these soldiers in the states only made the people never in peace, since they are people in which one cannot trust, another important thing that was mentioned that it was Having a prince is that he must judge correctly and should not be cruel, since it is better wanted to I hate of the people when they do unjust things an example could be when the princes are disrespectful and the women of the people take away or take over the properties of the people, per Or just as they take care that they are not hated they also have to try to see them as someone with authority, since someone may want to deceive them. The last chapters talk about the fact that you have to choose the people around you well, since as well as they can benefit you, you can choose badly and affect you, you also talk about fortune, since in those times it was something that was something that It made you powerful, as well as the Church was something that had a lot of power before society, but it is concluded that it is better to be a prince, since I think that fortune can be over and as well as as well as as well as Fortuna ends your time in the government also ends, unless he is a talented person and the engineering to maintain his fortune, but instead being principality for luck did not require money to become a prince, although Be a way with many difficulties if you have virtue and talent may your government be successful and I last more.
conclusion
In conclusion of the book I can say that it seemed very good, since it gives us advice of how The form of government at that time also teaches us how important it is to have virtues, since they are more important than having money, because money is something material and striving is more satisfactory because you know that what you have did to you based on your skills and also makes us know how important it is to choose the people with whom you relate, and I think that everything I read can serve me for a future in which it is a professional and try with different types of people. I can even say that it can help me to form a good office of counters in the future, since it is necessary have them close. In general it seemed to me an excellent book.
