5.0 out of 5 stars
Appreciation of an unknown book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The romance of Leonardo da Vinci (His Christ and Anti-Christ ; v. 2)
This book is mostly unknown, although it is, in my opinion, one of the greatest novels ever written. The accuracy and depth of the historical reconstruction give a keen insight into the times of italian Renaissance, providing an extraordinary and original portrait of the great genius and his lonely wanderings through late 15th century Italy. The insight the author manages to give on the artistic and scientific thought of Leonardo are unique, and rival any scientific text. The sublime reading pleasure is hence greatened by the wealth of knowledge which can be extracted from this wonderful book. A pity the author is greatly unknown, not only in this but also in all his other works.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Detail about the world of Leonardo.,
By p.richards@home.com (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The romance of Leonardo da Vinci (His Christ and Anti-Christ ; v. 2)
I first found this book in a college library over 16 years ago. I've since seen only 3 other copies of it. This is a great pity, as it is surely one of the best written novels any where in the world. Dmitry Merezhkovsky has recreated the conflicted life of Leonardo: genius on one side counter balanced by the pagan world in conflict with the fanatical religous climate in which he lived. If you want to submerge yourself in Leonardo's world, I highly recommend this book for doing so.

A rare treasure,
By Theresa Quirk (West Milford, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The romance of Leonardo da Vinci (His Christ and Anti-Christ ; v. 2)
I have never picked up a book and been touched as I have been with this one. The other reviews are accurate, this book is one of the the greatest novels I have ever read. The insight into the mind of Leanardo is amazing. I will cherish this book forever.
