Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
It becomes evident from the first page of The Stones of Florence that Mary McCarthy loves her subject. Yet hers is the steady love of a long acquaintance, an affection that has deepened from mere infatuation to a steady, clear-eyed regard. In this witty tribute to Florence, Mary McCarthy explores the city's past and present, in the process offering up a tour that covers everything from a description of oil painting to the remarkable history behind Florence's many towers. The Stones of Florence is ideal for reading on the plane ride to Italy, but it's also perfect for armchair travelers, art lovers, and students of the Renaissance.
Book Description
A large-format reissue of the original text accompanied by photographs of the artwork, architecture, and landscape of Florence. Introduction written by the Author specially for this edition. Black-and-white and color photographs by Evelyn Hofer and others.
