The Florentine Trinity Thomas Crockett

Rich in research, learning and imagination, The Florentine Trinity is a poetic history of late 15th Century Florence, Italy, told in the voices of people who lived that history: Lorenzo de' Medici, Girolamo Savonarola and Niccolo Machiavelli. Written in the form of three separate, though intertwining, autobiographies, the novel offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of notable men--adding flesh to the mythic bones of the Italian Renaissance--during a time when the salvation of man's mind and soul was tested to its limit, and the balance of life swayed with the fickle fortune of fate.
