A politically exiled man at forty-two burns his initial, failed attempts at writing and resolves to tell his story by drawing parallels to the life and work of Niccolo Machiavelli. He reflects on Machiavelli's political ideals, human weaknesses, and complex nature to frame his own experiences. The narrative explores the tension between instinctive passion and political life.
