Descriere

Desmond Seward tells the dramatic story of Savonarola, the visionary friar who terrified Renaissance Florence by his uncannily accurate prophesies of doom - especially of a new barbarian invasion from Charles VIII - and denounced Lorenzo the Magnificent as a tyrant and Borgia Alexander VI as an unworthy pope. Many years after death, this extraordinary man continues to be a cult figure.
