Complete Works of Voltaire 19

"Anti-Machiavel" is the result of a collaboration between Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, and Voltaire, who edited and expanded upon his patron’s essay. It is a chapter-by-chapter rebuttal of "The Prince" and of Machiavellianism in general, with emendations and further developments by Voltaire. This edition contains a full introduction, with a detailed publication history and full analysis of this momentous work.
