The Borgias de Marion Johnson
This was a matter of fact book, very little speculation about whether or not certain historical rumors were true. If you are looking for a straight recounting of the deeds of the Borgia family, this book will suit you. If you are looking for a shocking and sensational story about the infamous Borgias, wait for HBO to come out with a Borgia series.
193 large b&w photos and locator maps of about 90 villas and palaces.
Hands down, one of the best books on modern Rome that I've read. It's not your typical guidebook though. True, there are walks you can follow but there isn't any info on times, prices and other information related to access to sites. Instead you'll get in depth details on the architecture and history of all the marvelous things you may see on your walks--far more so than you could imagine getting out of Rick Steves or Fodors. Best of all, if you are a Rome lover, this book stands on its own as a work of literature that is accessible, interesting and pleasurable to read.… (mais)
סיפור עלייתם ונפילתם של אלפונסו (אלכסנדר הרביעי) צ'זרה ולוקרציה בורג'יה על רקע איטליה השסועה וקרועת התככים של שנות ה 1500. הכתיבה אינה מתעלה מעל בינוניות אבל הסיפור והגיבורים מרתקים מספיק בשביל לשמור עניין. ספר מאויר מלא בדמויות הגיבורים - ממכחוליהם של טובי הציירים של הרינסאנס.
