Leonardo da Vinci, Niccolo Machiavelli, and Cesare Borgia--three
iconic figures whose intersecting lives provide the basis for this
astonishing work of narrative history. They could not have been
more different, and they would meet only for a short time in 1502,
but the events that transpired when they did would significantly
alter each man's perceptions--and the course of Western history.
In 1502, Italy was riven by conflict, with the city of Florence as
the ultimate prize. Machiavelli, the consummate political
manipulator, attempted to placate the savage Borgia by volunteering
Leonardo to be Borgia's chief military engineer. That autumn, the
three men embarked together on a brief, perilous, and fateful
journey through the mountains, remote villages, and hill towns of
the Italian Romagna--the details of which were revealed in
Machiavelli's""frequent dispatches and Leonardo's meticulous
notebooks.
Superbly written and thoroughly researched, "The Artist, the
Philosopher, and the Warrior" is a work of narrative genius--whose
subject is the nature of genius itself.
