the medici godfathers of the renaisance
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
one of the best books about the renaisance that i have read. great historical, religious, political and cultural perspective of the period . it makes you feel you coexist with the wonders and perils of the period.
Nice narrative introduction into the world of Renaissance
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The book is written in a narrative style telling the story of the entire Medici Dynasty. Paul Strathern understands to put his main charakters into the appropriate historical background. I liked the crosslinks to many historically important charakters and their achievements. The end of the book loses a bit of it's flavour due to the disperse stories told about europe's nobility.
