Machiavelli : His Life and Times
Lee, Alexander
’A wonderfully assured and utterly riveting biography that captures not
only the much-maligned Machiavelli, but also the spirit of his time and
place. A monumental achievement.’ - Jessie Childs, author of God’s
Traitors. ’A notorious fiend’, ’generally odious’, ’he seems hideous,
and so he is.’ Thanks to the invidious reputation of his most famous
work, The Prince, Niccolo Machiavelli exerts a unique hold over the
popular imagination.
But was Machiavelli as sinister as he is
often thought to be? Might he not have been an infinitely more
sympathetic figure, prone to political missteps, professional failures
and personal dramas? Alexander Lee reveals the man behind the myth,
following him from cradle to grave, from his father’s penury and the
abuse he suffered at a teacher’s hands, to his marriage and his many
affairs (with both men and women), to his political triumphs and,
ultimately, his fall from grace and exile. In doing so, Lee uncovers
hitherto unobserved connections between Machiavelli’s life and thought.
He also reveals the world through which Machiavelli moved: from the
great halls of Renaissance Florence to the court of the Borgia pope,
Alexander VI, from the dungeons of the Stinche prison to the Rucellai
gardens, where he would begin work on some of his last great works.
As much a portrait of an age as of a uniquely engaging man, Lee’s
gripping and definitive biography takes the reader into Machiavelli’s
world - and his work - more completely than ever before.
