The Agony and the Ecstasy: A Biographical Novel of

The "agony" and the "ecstasy" of "The Agony and the Ecstasy"!

I wonder if Stone would feel honoured or slighted at my brash theft of HIS title "The Agony and the Ecstasy", as the basis for my review of his wonderful work! Irving … more

Read this before you make a trip to Italy. This work brings Michelangelo's sculpture to life by informing you of the life required to produce it. Excellent.

A book to read before visiting Tuscany
