Specificatii
By the end of the fifteenth century, Florence was well established
as the home of the Renaissance. As generous patrons to the likes of
Botticelli and Michelangelo, the ruling Medici embodied the
progressive humanist spirit of the age, and in Lorenzo de' Medici
(Lorenzo the Magnificent) they possessed a diplomat capable of
guarding the militarily weak city in a climate of constantly
shifting allegiances between the major Italian powers. However, in
the form of Savonarola, an unprepossessing provincial monk, Lorenzo
found his nemesis. Filled with Old Testament fury and prophecies of
doom, Savonarola's sermons reverberated among a disenfranchised
population, who preferred medieval Biblical certainties to the
philosophical interrogations and intoxicating surface glitter of
the Renaissance. Savonarola's aim was to establish a 'City of God'
for his followers, a new kind of democratic state, the likes of
which the world had never seen before. The battle between these two
men would be a fight to the death, a series of sensational
events--invasions, trials by fire, the 'Bonfire of the Vanities',
terrible executions and mysterious deaths--featuring a cast of the
most important and charismatic Renaissance figures.Was this a
simple clash of wills between a benign ruler and religious fanatic?
Between secular pluralism and repressive extremism? In an
exhilaratingly rich and deeply researched story, Paul Strathern
reveals the paradoxes, self-doubts, and political compromises that
made the battle for the soul of the Renaissance city one of the
most complex and important moments in Western history.
