In a formidably assured and beautiful first novel, R.M. Lamming has created a character through whose eyes we gain a startling view of Renaissance life. From behind the flawed visage of Gismondo Cavalletti, an unforgettably tortured yet resilient intelligence records the tragedy and comedy of humanity's bid for perfection, with its attendant treacheries, blasphemies-and triumphs.
