In this century Gene Brucker has been one of the city's most knowledgeable admirers. Historians and students will find much of value here; so too will anyone who is in love with--or who plans to fall in love with -- the shining city of Florence. Florence: The Golden Age 1138-1737. von Brucker, Gene A.:Autor(en) Brucker, Gene A.:Verlag / Jahr University of California Press, 1998.Format / Einband Softcover. 278 p.: ill., kol.Sprache EnglischGewicht ca. 1350 gISBN 0520215222EAN 9780520215221Bestell-Nr 1196404Bemerkungen Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Einband leicht berieben, leicht bestoßen, auf Schmutztitel leicht abgelöst, Buchschnitt leicht angeschmutzt, insgesamt guter Zustand / Binding lightly rubbed, lightly bumped, slightly detached on dirt title, book edges lightly soiled, overall good condition. - Over the centuries many thousands of visitors have journeyed to Florence to admire the city's great beauty and to marvel at its unique history. In this century Gene Brucker has been one of the city's most knowledgeable admirers. With the historian's ability to uncover the past, he skillfully relates the story of Florence's Golden Age and the conjoined forces that transformed the city on the Arno into one of the most glorious civilizations the world has known. Brucker's story of the premier city of the Italian Renaissance tells of great families and common people, wars and economic dislocations, natural catastrophes and religious turmoil, and extraordinary artistic and literary achievement. The creative growth of the city of Dante, Giotto, Brunelleschi, and Michelangelo was made possible through Florence's role as an economic center, the zeal of its small manufacturing industries, and the enterprise of the merchants who spread Florentine influence well beyond the city's walls and territories. The pages of Florence are enlivened with the voices of historical protagonists, and their words richly convey the tenor of the times. Brucker's accessible writing is complimented by a wealth of paintings and drawings, 200 of them in full color. Also included are a chronology of important historical events, a listing of noted Florentine families, and a genealogy of the famed Medici family. Historians and students will find much of value here; so too will anyone who is in love with--or who plans to fall in love with -- the shining city of Florence.
