Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY KIRKUS REVIEWSThe New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Italian Renaissance novelsThe Birth of Venus, In the Company of the Courtesan, and Sacred Heartshas an exceptional talent for breathing life into history. Now Sarah Dunant turns her discerning eye to one of the worlds most intriguing and infamous familiesthe Borgiasin an engrossing work of literary fiction. By the end of the fifteenth century, the beauty and creativity of Italy is matched by its brutality and corruption, nowhere more than in Rome and inside the Church. When Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia buys his way into the papacy as Alexander VI, he is defined not just by his wealth or his passionate love for his illegitimate children, but by his blood: He is a Spanish Pope in a city run by Italians. If the Borgias are to triumph, this charismatic, consummate politician with a huge appetite for life, women, and power must use papacy and familyin particular, his eldest son, Cesare, and his daughter Lucreziain order to succeed. Cesare, with a dazzlingly cold intelligence and an even colder soul, is his greatestthough increasingly unstableweapon. Later immortalized in Machiavellis The Prince, he provides the energy and the muscle. Lucrezia, beloved by both men, is the prime dynastic tool. Twelve years old when the novel opens, hers is a journey through three marriages, and from childish innocence to painful experience, from pawn to political player. Stripping away the myths around the Borgias, Blood & Beauty is a majestic novel that breathes life into this astonishing family and celebrates the raw power of history itself: compelling, complex and relentless.Look for special features inside.

Dunant transforms the blackhearted Borgias and the conniving courtiers and cardinals of Renaissance Europe into fully rounded characters, brimming with life and lust. The New York Times Book Review Like Hilary Mantel with her Cromwell trilogy, [Sarah] Dunant has scaled new heights by refashioning mythic figures according to contemporary literary taste. This intellectually satisfying historical saga, which offers blood and beauty certainly, but brains too, is surely the best thing she has done to date. The Miami Herald Compelling female players have been a characteristic of Dunants earlier novels, and this new offering is no exception. . . . The members of this close-knit family emerge as dynamic characters, flawed but sympathetic, filled with fear and longing. The Seattle Times Dazzling . . . a triumph on an epic scale . . . filled with rich detail and page-turning drama. BookPage The Machiavellian atmospherehedonism, lust, political intrigueis magnetic. . . . Readers wont want the era of Borgia rule to end. People (four stars) A tale inspired by the lives of Borgia siblings Lucretia and Cesare traces the family's rise in the aftermath of Rodrigo Borgia's rise to the papacy, during which war, a terrifying sexual plague, and the family's notorious reputation forge an intimate bond between brother and sister.
