The Third book in the Leonardo Series
| The assassination of the young husband of Lucrezia Borgia in Rome and the
vandalism of the best of Florentine art trigger the action in George Herman's latest historical novel, "The Florentine
Mourners," which is available through iUniverse, Barnes & Noble and
Amazon.com. This novel, the third in a series featuring Leonardo da Vinci and his Latin tutor, the dwarf, Niccolo de Pavia, bring together the Borgias in conflict with the exiled Medici family in Rome while a group of mysterious "mourners" in Florence supposedly follow the dictates of their late leader, Savonarola, and mutilate works by Donatello, Uccello, and Botticelli. Exploring what madness drives vandals to desecration of artifacts, "The Florentine Mourners" also examines what could bring Leonardo, an artist who called war a "bestial madness," into the service of the warlord, Cesare Borgia. |
