The New Machiavelli is a novel written by H.G. Wells, first published in 1911. The story follows the life of Richard Remington, a successful politician who becomes disillusioned with his career and personal life. After a scandalous affair, Remington retreats to the countryside to reflect on his life and find a new purpose.During his time away, Remington becomes fascinated with the teachings of Niccol������ Machiavelli and begins to apply them to his own life. He becomes involved in a group of radical socialists and begins to plot his own political comeback, using Machiavellian tactics to gain power and influence.As Remington rises to prominence once again, he must confront the consequences of his actions and the ethical implications of his Machiavellian approach to politics. The novel explores themes of power, morality, and the corrupting influence of ambition.Overall, The New Machiavelli is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a unique perspective on the world of politics and human nature.When I think of how such things began in my mind, there comes back to me the memory of an enormous bleak room with its ceiling going up to heaven and its floor covered irregularly with patched and defective oilcloth and a dingy mat or so and a surround as they call it, of dark stained wood. Here and there against the wall are trunks and boxes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
