My Review

As a listener, I was intrigued by the idea of listening to an audiobook that delves into the utilitarian approach to life. Niccolo Machiavelli, being one of the most notable authors in this regard, has written a masterpiece called “The Prince.” What caught my attention even more is the fact that I could get this audiobook free of cost.

Unlike many authors who prefer to write about fictional worlds or fantastical ideas, Machiavelli chose to focus on reality. Writing about reality can be challenging, and most authors shy away from it. However, Machiavelli skillfully presents these ideas in an appealing way, making it easier for listeners like me to digest.

“The Prince” is an exceptional book, and through its pages, Machiavelli shares invaluable insights on what it takes to become a prince. This book was initially written to resolve disputes with Lorenzo de Medici, the ruling prince of that time. Little did Machiavelli know that it would eventually become universally appealing, akin to renowned works like “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” and “The First 90 Days, Updated and Expanded.”

In this book, Machiavelli describes how one can attain power and effectively rule over an empire. He delves into the mechanics of gaining loyalty, providing practical strategies that have stood the test of time. Even in present-day, centuries after its publication, “The Prince” remains a guiding star for governments around the world.

What makes this book even more remarkable is Machiavelli’s use of examples from historic rulers. By citing historical events, he helps us understand his point of view and illustrates the difference between idealistic concepts and the harsh reality of politics. It is a valuable resource for young students studying politics, offering them a deeper understanding of the intricacies of governance.

In conclusion, “The Prince” audiobook by Grover Gardner is a captivating masterpiece that provides a unique perspective on political reality. Machiavelli’s skillful storytelling and insightful analysis make it an essential listen for anyone interested in understanding the utilitarian approach to life.
