KEV67 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Started reading this; well I read the introduction and a note on the translation by Tim Parks. My brother was into books about politics, so I sent him a copy one Christmas. He told me that although he knew I had sent it to him as a joke, he thought it was great. I had not actually sent it as a joke, because I had heard a lot about it, mainly on Radio 4. The introduction was to do about Machiavelli's life and times. Italian political history is weird.

KEV67 Posted August 15, 2023 Author Share Posted August 15, 2023 How would you translate this into modern English: "la fortuna è donna, et è necessario, volendela tenere sotto, batterla et urtarla." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
