Our Take

A provocative book that tries to rethink the way we think about the Renaissance. Printed on luxurious paper with scores of beautiful color plates, its objective is to show that the creation of wealth was what drove the Renaissance. Not recommended for the light-hearted, though. This is a pretty serious history book. Full of interesting gems.
