A biographical novel of Michelangelo. Michelangelo Buonarotti lived in the time of the turbulent Renaissance, the years of poisoning princes, warring popes, the powerful Medici family, and the fanatic monk Savonarola. Working with a God-driven fury he created David, painted the Sistine ceiling, and was the architect of the dome of St Peter's.
