Hi /lit, anyone can recommend me some especially Machiavellian novels or literature? Fiction or nonfiction is fine, I'm primarily looking for stories where the protagonist overcomes a more powerful foe through cunning and subversion rather than just brute strength or the power of '''''love''''' etc. Much appreciated!

I've actually already read a fair portion of this, but good suggestion. Thank you!

Druon's Accursed Kings series is probably just what you're looking for.

Also most John Le Carre novels if you want a more contemporary setting.

Read Gracians Art of Worldly Wisdom or something like that.

It's like Machiavelli's Prince but on a personal rather than state level.

The novels written by Wilbur Smith are pretty Machiavellian.
