Description

Machiavelli has been a controversial figure ever since his writings were first published at the close of the Renaissance. In The Prince, his frank advice to prospective rulers covers manipulation of public opinion, deception, and even the use of violence for political ends.

As a result, Machiavelli has been called many things — from the first realist and modern political scientist to a satirist or even an evil man. Regardless of interpretation, The Prince remains one of history’s most influential studies of power and leadership, offering enduring lessons since its first appearance in 1532.

To provide context for Machiavelli’s thinking, this edition includes a detailed author section with a classic analysis by Thomas Macaulay from 1850. Designed in Helsinki by Anna-Mari Tenhunen, the book features luxurious dark grey Van Heek Coloretta cloth and debossed details.

“Everyone sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are, and those few dare not oppose themselves to the opinion of the many, who have the majesty of the state to defend them.”

FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Who are you guys? Are you part of a chain?

We are a Finnish, family-owned business and something of a cult favourite among fashion insiders — proudly female-led and independent since 2008. Our shop is based in Helsinki, and no, we are not part of a chain.

With three brick & mortar shops, My o My finally has an online boutique, too. It took us a while — but all good things are worth waiting for. Read more about us and our story here.

Where do your products come from?

Most of the products here at My o My are found within the EU — Finland, Denmark,
Sweden, France, Italy, and the UK — with a few special finds from the US
as well.

Behind the wheel is someone with an eclectic taste and
impeccable eye for colours, so you never can be quite sure! But the
focus is finding unique, useful, yet beautiful objects that are
thoughtful, well-made and lasting, and thus make the world a little bit
better place.

I saw a product on your website earlier and now it's gone :( Can I still buy it?

Yes — often you can!

But remember: Finders keepers, losers weepers! As a small business, we don’t keep huge stock, so sometimes items do sell out — and once they’re gone, they might stay gone.

That said, we’re pretty nimble. If the item’s still in production, we can often restock it when there's genuine demand. Just drop us a message at customercare@myomy.fi and we’ll check for you.

Where's my package and where do you ship?

We ship from Finland to all EU countries. Sadly, we don’t currently ship outside the EU — but maybe one day!

You’ll get a tracking link by email as soon as your order leaves our Helsinki store. Delivery times and shipping costs are listed on our Customer care page.

During peak times (like Christmas) delivery may take a bit longer — thank you for your patience. If your parcel seems to have gone astray, get in touch and we’ll track it down.

How long do you keep local pick-ups?

So great that you asked! We’ll hold click & collect orders for 14 days from the day the ready for pick-up notification is sent. After that, we’ll assume the items have been abandoned unless we hear from you. Uncollected order does not count for a return.

The 14-day return period starts when you pick up your order from the store.

If you can’t collect you purchase in time, just message us — we’re happy to keep it safe if you are away or unwell. But please let us know!

But hey — we’re a small team with limited space. So please don’t select pick-up right before heading off on a month-long holiday. Or, if you do (who doesn't love vacations), send a friend, neighbour, sibling, parent or colleague to pick up your order — if you trust them and they have your name + order number, we trust them too.
