具體描述
The Renaissance burst forth in all its glory around 1500 and spread throughout Europe. This period of great creativity and productivity in the arts and sciences is illuminated in this book through the lives of more than ninety of its illustrious intellectuals, artists, literary figures, scientists, and rulers. Included are such major figures as Lorenzo and Catherine de’ Medici, Leonardo da Vinci, Charles V, Luther, Columbus, Copernicus, and St. Teresa of Ávila, as well as lesser-known characters such as Antonio Rinaldeschi, “gambler and blasphemer”; Louise Labé, “the jousting poetess”; Dick Tarlton, “the queen’s comedian”; Veronica Franco, “courtesan and wordsmith”; and Catena, “rustler, robber, and bandit chief.”
Each section in this volume marks a chronological stage in Europe’s rebirth, tying the period’s intellectual currents to its political and social concerns and setting the context for the individual biographies.

評分一直在想，当我们了解一个时代的时候，什么是最重要的。曾经有一段迷恋小历史，后来终于想明白，自己迷恋的其实不过是历史时间背后，那一个个鲜活的人，在大历史的滚滚浪潮中，这些人在做什么，在想什么，又如何推动了历史，或者给历史下了一个绊子，这就是我看《文艺复兴人》...
