( ) Although I can understand some of the complaints I just don't see them diminishing what Paul Strathern is trying to do. If you want a quick concise history of the Medici's then you can't do much better than this. Then if you are interested in learning more there are plenty histories that are longer and more academic. המחבר איננו היסטוריון, הוא פולימט. כתב עשרות רבות של ספרים החל מכימיה וכלה באומנות. לכך יש חסרונות ויתרונות. החסרונות הם שההסברים שלו לאירועים היסטוריים לא תמיד עומדים בקריטריונים מחקריים ואפילו לא בקריטריונים הגיוניים. היתרון הגדול הוא שהוא מפגיש אותך ומעמת זה מול זה התפתחויות פוליטיות, אומנותיות, מדעיות, תרבותיות, - אירוע נדיר מאוד בכתיבה היסטורית. בנוסף, סטרזרן הוא מחספר בחסד, בעל חוש הומור, שולט במטריה שלו וכותב ביד אמן. חויית קריאה מרתקת ומספקת Within the first two months of 2019, I’ve added a second author to my list of favorites in relation to my historical nonfiction (the other for this year being Charles C. Mann). Strathern does an incredible job in detailing the ups and downs of the Medici family, much of which I hadn’t previously known about. The Medici family has always been a fascination to me, and this book fueled the continuation of my interest. This is a fantastic book about one of the most influential families during the Italian Renaissance, and I highly recommend it as a read. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

A dazzling history of the modest family that rose to become one of the most powerful in Europe, The Medici is a remarkably modern story of power, money, and ambition. Against the background of an age that saw the rebirth of ancient and classical learning Paul Strathern explores the intensely dramatic rise and fall of the Medici family in Florence, as well as the Italian Renaissance which they did so much to sponsor and encourage. Interwoven into the narrative are the lives of many of the great Renaissance artists with whom the Medici had dealings, including Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Donatello, as well as scientists like Galileo and Pico della Mirandola. In his enthralling study, Strathern also follows the fortunes of those members of the Medici family who achieved success away from Florence, including the two Medici popes and Catherine de' Medici, who became queen of France and played a major role in that country through three turbulent reigns.
