Maria Bellonci 125023 - The Life and Times of Lucrezia Borgia

 1541254722,
Phoenix Press, 1988. Paperback. Pp: 343. But the Lucrezia that Maria Bellonci depicts here is a passionate, womanly figure moving uncertainly through the Papal court and through the intrigues, ambitions and political chicanery that swirled about her. Married three times for her familyøs political advantage Lucrezia also entertained, for her own pleasure, a long list of eminent lovers particularly the poet Pietro Bembo. Her father, Pope Alexander VI, emerges as a fiercely devoted parent while the catlike and sinister Cesare Borgia is seen as a relentless and unscrupulous power-seeker. Winner of the Viareggio Literary Award and the Galante Prize in Italy upon its first publication in 1953, this celebrated biography is, in the authorøs words, øan eternal feminine story swinging between consent and rebellionø. ISBN: 9781842120590. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
