a prominent classic ever since its publication in 1513; valued for its shrewd psychological insight, powerful words and prophetic quality.

And even today, it has never lost its power to shock and influence. Ian Richardson played machiavellian Francis Urquhart in the hit TV series The House of Cards, To Play the King and The Final Cut.

His formidable reading of this modern unabridged translation is an accessible and entertaining way in to a truly compelling world view.
