石板路,蛋彩画,班驳的墙壁,美丽的华服,悲喜交加的爱情... 如果可以穿越一次,我愿意穿越到文艺复兴时期的佛罗伦萨. 私认为佛罗伦萨那另一个浪漫的名字:翡冷翠,并不是那样能体现出这个城市的精粹. 因为这个名字所包含的色彩太冷,不是散发着暖色光环的花城所要表现的.
评分个人认为,很多人对此书的简评有失公正,完全,几乎概括的都是男女之间的爱恨情仇,完全是为了吸引一些对爱情迷茫,或者是懵懵懂懂憧憬的小女生而扭曲事实而写下的东西。而书本身则要伟大的多,他讲述了一个故事,在一个时代,一个齐声合唱哈利路亚,万千个声音合为一体的时代...
评分 评分感觉就是在ZB串历史写荒诞满纸的猎奇但还不到米兰昆德拉的境界远远不到。怎么嗅都觉得伪艺术题目起的真的太ZB了有点恶心……
评分一本书如果涉及文艺复兴和佛罗伦萨,再用波提切利的“维纳斯的诞生”来装帧,那我丧失抵抗力实在是再自然不过的事。 买这本小说《维纳斯的诞生:佛罗伦萨的爱与死》时,我大致只知道是书的内容是关于文艺复兴时期一位佛罗伦萨女子的成长和爱情故事。 先来看看书扉页上的简介...

Alessandra Cecchi is not quite fifteen when her father, a prosperous cloth merchant, brings a young painter back from northern Europe to decorate the chapel walls in the family’s Florentine palazzo. A child of the Renaissance, with a precocious mind and a talent for drawing, Alessandra is intoxicated by the painter’s abilities.
But their burgeoning relationship is interrupted when Alessandra’s parents arrange her marriage to a wealthy, much older man. Meanwhile, Florence is changing, increasingly subject to the growing suppression imposed by the fundamentalist monk Savonarola, who is seizing religious and political control. Alessandra and her native city are caught between the Medici state, with its love of luxury, learning, and dazzling art, and the hellfire preaching and increasing violence of Savonarola’s reactionary followers. Played out against this turbulent backdrop, Alessandra’s married life is a misery, except for the surprising freedom it allows her to pursue her powerful attraction to the young painter and his art.
The Birth of Venus is a tour de force, the first historical novel from one of Britain’s most innovative writers of literary suspense. It brings alive the history of Florence at its most dramatic period, telling a compulsively absorbing story of love, art, religion, and power through the passionate voice of Alessandra, a heroine with the same vibrancy of spirit as her beloved city.
From the Hardcover edition.
Dunant shows her love for Florence, as the city---all its landscapes and sounds and smells lived vividly through the novel. I do enjoy the metaphorical "Birth" of our lady in the novel but the ending was just, rushed. Pretty engaging read.
评分一段文艺复兴时期狗血的爱情故事,但由于糅合了关于宗教,艺术,自由,欲望的描述与讨论,还是有趣,值得一读,但确实不如烟花散尽和神圣的心优雅。

评分结尾并不如我所期待,这确实是一本很engaging的书,如果可以明天写两本书的reviews。
