The Prince
The Prince is a short, cold handbook on how power is taken and kept. Machiavelli writes to a ruler, not to a choir, which is why the book still startles. This public-domain English translation is the one students actually finish. Read a chapter online, then keep the EPUB beside later essays that argue with it.
