He is the universal man. He is the most controversial mind in history. He is Niccolò Machiavelli, the philosopher of power. Everything he lived through is contained in his work, “The Prince,” the second best-selling book after the Bible. But there is one thing that political knowledge cannot control: Fortune.
“The Prince” is a modern period revenge drama: the darkest tones of “House of Cards” meet the boldness of “The Great” in the crazy and dark Florence of the 1500s. What happens in the past echoes to the present day. Love, sex, wars, and an insatiable thirst for revenge animate Machiavelli’s existence. Will the seducer of the powerful achieve immortality?
