In this newly remastered episode, rule over sleep with the pithy prose of Niccolo Machiavelli. But first, a very long introduction to our author and the twisted papal politics of 15th century Italy. Yawn!

*Boring Books for Bedtime will be on break through September, so enjoy some remastered episodes from the wayback. We'll return with new readings for sleep in October!*
