A vivid portrayal of the great Italian philosopher - now in paperbackIn Niccol's Smile, Maurizio Viroli brings to life the fascinating writer who was the founder of modern political thought. Niccol Machiavelli's works on the theory and practice of statecraft are classics, but Viroli sugggests that his greatest accomplishment is his robust philosophy of life -- his deep beliefs about how one should conduct oneself as a modern citizen in a republic, as a responsible family member, as a good person. On these subjects Machiavelli wrote no books: the text of his philosophy is his life itself, a life that was filled with paradox, uncertainty, and tragic drama.
