Fire in the City
A gripping and beautifully written narrative, Fire in the City presents a compelling account of a key moment in the history of the Renaissance, illuminating the remarkable man who dominated the period, the charismatic Girolamo Savonarola. Lauro Martines, whose decades of scholarship have made him one of the most admired historians of Renaissance Italy, here provides a remarkably fresh perspective on the preacher and agitator who flamed like a comet through late fifteenth-century Florence. Savonarola emerges as a complex and subtle man--both a religious and a civic leader--whose fusion of morality and politics left a lasting mark on Renaissance Florence.

April Blood
April Blood offers us a fresh portrait of Renaissance Florence, where dazzling artistic achievements went side by side with violence, craft, and bare-knuckle politics. At the center of the canvas is the figure of Lorenzo the Magnificent--poet, statesman, connoisseur, patron of the arts, and ruthless \"boss of bosses.\" This extraordinarily vivid account of a turning point in the Italian Renaissance is bound to become a lasting work of history.
