《榮耀之城．伊斯坦堡》姊妹作喜愛羅傑．克勞利《財富之城》的讀者，千萬不能錯過的威尼斯全史「中古歐洲三部曲」作者拉爾斯．布朗沃思評價：「（麥登）是位不世出的天才，一位可以把故事說得扣人心弦的嚴謹學者」現代資本主義的發源地、民主共和國家的先行者在大航海時代來臨之前，地中海世界的唯一霸主──威尼斯共和國 西元五世紀，威尼斯人逃離入侵義大利本土的日耳曼蠻族，在亞得里亞海潟湖間進行捕魚貿易，開始構築他們心目中的一方世外樂土。一七九七年，拿破崙攻下威尼斯，為連綿一百二十位總督、千餘年的共和國歷史劃下句點。 在這長達一千五百年的歷史中，這群來自羅馬的亡國難民，在一片泥濘荒蕪的潟湖沙洲上，奠定了現代資本主義經濟的基礎，也建立起人類史上存在最久的共和體制，更是獨領地中海風騷數百年的一方之霸。這份偉業在威尼斯方言中，可稱之為「海上帝國」（Stato da Mar）。 《威尼斯共和國》是數十年來第一本從地中海史的宏觀角度，描寫威尼斯一千五百年史的通俗歷史作品。本書作者同時也是美國聖路易大學歐洲中世紀史教授湯瑪士．麥登，以他傑出語言能力、輕快不拘泥於細節的筆調、淵博的地中海文明知識、三十多年進出威尼斯生活研究的經驗，描寫這個城市國家的千年命運，將其置於地中海東西強權、宗教鬥爭、封建勢力、商業競爭的互動脈絡中，我們將看到威尼斯如何發展出眾多商業與金融工具，成為今日資本主義的核心；看威尼斯如何從海權商業共和國轉變為陸權殖民帝國；看威尼斯跟拜占庭之間糾葛千年、難捨難分的複雜關係；看威尼斯如何從領著歐亞貿易的浪尖，逐步退卻到葡萄牙、西班牙、荷蘭、英國之後，褪去過往的風華，成為今日觀光客雲集造訪之地。 這座島嶼見證了權力的更迭與國界的消逝，從古代帝國的盛世，到中世紀的征戰，再到現代國際的博弈。這不只是一個潟湖島嶼的故事，更是一千五百年來，地中海東西方主要強權，在一群亡國難民折衝下，寫出歷史新頁的故事。【國際書評】麥登的這本書是神奇威尼斯的完美指南。他的書不僅有權威性和全面性，也一直有可讀性和趣味性。對於喜愛歐洲、喜歡歷史，以及喜歡在扶手椅上神遊各地的讀者來說，不可以錯過本書。──羅斯．金恩（Ross King）麥登的這幅威尼斯肖像畫是這座城市豐富多采的藝術品之一，那是一張由千載傳說編織而成的掛毯，裡頭有令人難忘的角色、膽大妄為的功績，以及鼓舞人心的勝利。這裡還有自由企業與思想萌芽

本書內容包括各種形式的王國建立的方法，也是一部教導野心家如何使用各種手段當上王位的「君王學」。《君王論》為西方政治思想史中聲明最著的經典作品之一，全書探討統治者的治國術(Arte dello stato)，分析領導者如何取得、維繫、並擴張其權利。作者馬基維利有意顛覆西方倫理學傳統，主張政治乃獨立於道德之外，他強調權力運作自有理路，如將政治泛道德化必導致毀滅的後果。其理論分析促成了近代政治思想脫離傳統目的論的範圍，並深刻影響了現代民族國家世俗化的政治意識。

Niccolò Machiavelli's seminal work, The Prince, argued that a ruler could not govern morally and be successful. Giovanni Botero disputed this argument and proposed a system for the maintenance and expansion of a state that remained moral in character. Founding an anti-Machiavellian tradition that aimed to refute Machiavelli in practice, Botero is an important figure in early modern political thought, though he remains relatively unknown. His most notable work, Della ragion di Stato, first popularised the term 'reason of state' and made a significant contribution to a major political debate of the time - the perennial issue of the relationship between politics and morality - and the book became a political 'bestseller' in the late sixteenth and the seventeenth century. This translation of the 1589 volume introduces Botero to a wider Anglophone readership and extends this influential text to a modern audience of students and scholars of political thought.
