What reading level is Napoleon And Machiavelli Two Essays in Political Science book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Dante's essay in praise of monarchy is readily ex- plained. He recognized the need of a national gov- ernment for Italy, and monarchy was the only form of centralization that he could understand. The time for federalism had not yet arrived.
He was not the greatest of poets. He may have excelled Milton ; but he is surpassed by Homer, Shakespeare, and Goethe, — perhaps also by Sopho- cles and ^schylus. Yet, we return to him continu- ally, and we are not depressed by the terrible scenes which he c...onjures up for us ; for they appear in an atmosphere of the tenderest pity, and the light which illumines them comes from the life eternal. The Divina Commedia is one of the watch-towers which mark the progress of civilization, and, like Homer's Iliad, it may still hold its place after the lingua Tos- carta has ceased to be spoken.
MACHIAVELLI'S ^'PRINCE. " MACHIAVELLI is one of the puzzles of me- diaeval history. When some notable person who has always appeared immaculate to the public eye, one who has been long distinguished for the performance of pious works and the utterance of patriotic sentiments, is discovered conniving at fraud, or caught in the perpetration of some criminal act himself, we are greatly shocked, it is true, but not alto- gether surprised ; for we know that such instances have not been uncommon before, that self-interest is an ever ready instructor of hypocrisy, and, if we are sufficiently honest with ourselves, we realize how near at times the tempter has been to each one of us.
