Муки и радости

"Torments and Joys" is a novel by American writer Irving Stone about the greatest Italian sculptor, painter, architect and poet of the Renaissance, Michelangelo Buonarroti.
The authenticity of the narrative requires a trip to the painter’s homeland.
Having sold his house in California, Irving Stone moved to Italy and lived there for over four years until the book was completed.
To better convey to the reader the secrets of working with stone, the writer picks up a hammer and a chisel and masters the skill of a stonemason.
With the help of fellow scientists, the writer penetrates the archives and finds there many records relating to Michelangelo and his family.
Almost half of the novel “Torment and Joy” is based on newly discovered materials...
