Riassunto

The Pies beat the Saints and the city of Melbourne was still cloaked in black and white crepe paper when the rumour of a pack rape by celebrating footballers began to surface. By morning, the head of the sexual crimes squad confirmed to journalists that they were preparing to question two Collingwood players ...And so, as police were confiscating bed sheets from a townhouse in Dorcas Street, South Melbourne, the trial by media began.In the tradition of Helen Garner's The First Stone comes another closely observed, controversial book about sex, con - sent and power. At the centre of it is Anna Krien's account of the rape trial of a footballer. Krien offers a balanced and fearless look at the dark side of footy culture - the world of Sam Newman, Ricky Nixon, Matty Johns, the Cronulla Sharks and more. What does a young footballer do to cut loose? At night, some play what they think of as pranks, or games. Night games involving women. These games sometimes involve consensual sex, but sometimes they don't, and sometimes they fall into a grey area. Both a courtroom drama and a riveting piece of first - person narrative journalism, this is a breakthrough book from one of the young leading lights of Australian writing.

Niccolo Machiavelli, best known now for The Prince (1532), was an Italian philosopher, diplomat, and musician. Born near Florence, he served the government as a clerk and ambassador. From 1503 - 06, he led the Florentine militia and was responsible for the defense of the city, but in 1513, after a shift in power, he was arrested, tortured, and exiled. After his release, he returned to his estate to concentrate on his writing.
