The trials of trying to paint a cathedral ceiling
I gave this to my teen granddaughter who has an interest in the Medici family. I remember reading it when i was her age, and I was so enthralled, I read the entire 700+ page book in about three days. I hope she finds it as fascinating.Lire l'avis complet...

Historical novel
I was not at good with history as a child. Absolutely love historical novels. Have gained a lot of appreciation about it from these types of novels. Ex. Who were Michelangelo's competitors, friends, etc. Did he marry? Commissions, never realized how many were forced. Leonardo di Vinci..their relationship. How they viewed each other, etc. I realize it is a novel but for me the insight, in a way that doesn't put me to sleep, is intriguing. I really enjoyed this book.Lire l'avis complet...

Wonderful writing by a master author
I just finished re-reading the Agony and the Ecstasy, which I read over 50 years ago.
It is an even better read at 77 than it was, when I read it for the 1st time, at the age of 27.
I recommend it highly for anyone interested in the Arts.Lire l'avis complet...

If you have any artistic bone in your body, you need to read this!
I read this as a teenager and now am re-reading it. It is as compelling now as it was then. I can't put it down. Not only is the life of Michelangelo fleshed out with intense emotion and motivation, but it is an interesting look at the political, social, and church history of the era.
It is a huge investment of time though. Small print and almost 800 pages. One of the best books I have ever read. Lire l'avis complet...

Great book which provided a interesting historical perspective!
We are traveling to Europe in the next year or so and Italy is one of the countries we plan to visit. We thought this book would be a great prelude to our trip. The book provided a great historical perspective.
Good purchase, prompt delivery and good communication!Lire l'avis complet...

The Agony and the Ecstasy--Great Book!
This was a great book, I read it as I toured Rome and Florence and learned about Michelangelo and some stories behind his work.
Good experience
Everything happen as it was supposed to and when it was supposed to. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
