Irving Stone nos deleita esta vez con la vida de Miguel Ángel Buonarotti, el inmortal creador del Moisés y del David, pintor de la Capilla Sixtina y arquitecto de la Basílica de San Pedro. This was a well told story of the most famous sculptor ever. Michelangelo Buonarroti, at a young age started sculpting, and it became his passion in life. Through many popes, and many projects, the story focuses more on the character of Michaelangelo and how he makes allies with people he can trust, and depend on, but also makes enemies and is not afraid to let it be known. The book takes you through what his mindset might have been when creating his masterpieces, and how he uses his hammer and chisel to finds his final result in blocks of marble. It was an amazing book for me, as I have seen a number of his creations in Italy, and I can now picture how he sculpted or painted them and appreciate them even more! 4/26/22 I debated about whether or not I should put this on the Classic bookshelf... I still might change my mind. This book was a roller coaster of emotion and history. Regardless of who Michaelangelo was, he lived through 80 years that were packed with monumental moments- both in his life and in the greater world. I loved the author's musings on God and the purpose of life. I loved the thought process- however constructed- that the author invented from Michaelangelo towards his creations. In short, Stone put an impressive amount of work into this and created something that enhanced my desire to go to Florence and Rome, and see those masterpieces for myself. V Agónii a extáze Irving Stone mimoriadne presvedčivo zobrazil dramatický, búrlivý život veľkého maliara a sochára talianskej renesancie Michelangela Buonarrotiho, ako aj celú plejádu osobností, s ktorými sa umelec stýkal. Vďaka jedinečnej schopnosti historickej evokácie sa autorovi podarilo zachytiť ducha čias, spôsob myslenia a cítenia ľudí v danej historickej etape. V románe sa stretávame s pestrým a pozoruhodne plastickým obrazom renesancie v jej plnej šírke – od zmyslového rozkošníctva až k asketizmu reformačných snáh. Táto kniha čitateľa nielen zaujme, ale naplní ho aj pochopením pre veľké – a neraz márne – úsilie geniálneho umelca v konflikte so spoločnosťou,ktorú predbehol.
