Nicolo+Machiavelli

By Jamie He was famous for his short political treatise, **The Prince**, which was written in 1513, but was published in 1532, 5 years after his death. . Machiavelli's purpose of **The Prince** is to gain the favor of the **Medici Family** by writing what he thought was their goal and what was dedicated to them, but the **Medici Family** did not agree with what the book said, so he lost his job. His personnal goal was to unite Italy instead of having territories, a few years after the **Medici Family** was exiled from Florence, the republic was re-established, after this Machiavelli quickly ran to his office he left many years ago and reclaim his job back, then suddenly his health began to fail him and died months later in 1527. Machiavelli was unfairly attacked due to his bad reputation as it got worse after he died, though people should view him correctly as patriot and a political genius. His surname also yeilds a modern political word "Machiavellian"-- 'the use of cunning and deceitful stratagem in politics'. The only work that was published in his lifetime was **The Art of War**. Besides the **The Prince** and **The Art of War,** Machiavelli also has other works, such as poems and novels.
