| 內容簡介： |
In the tradition of Galileo''s Daughter and Brunelleschi''s
Dome, this exciting story illuminates the captivating world of the
late Renaissance—in this case its plagues, remedies, and
alchemy—through the life of Leonardo Fioravanti, a brilliant,
remarkably forward-thinking, and utterly unconventional doctor.
Fioravanti''s marvelous cures and talent for self-aggrandizement
earned him the adoration of the people, the scorn of the medical
establishment, and a reputation as one of the age''s most colorful,
combative figures. Written by Pulitzer-prize nominated historian
William Eamon, The Professor of Secrets entices readers into a
dangerous scientific underworld of sorcerers and surgeons.
Meticulously researched and engagingly written, this gripping
narrative will appeal to those interested in Renaissance history,
the development of science, and the historical thrillers so popular
today.
