Lucrezia Borgia: A Novel
New York Crown Publishers, Inc. 2003 0609609742 / 9780609609743 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible
277 pp.; 25 cm. AS NEW. Stated "First Edition." Fine DJ. "The woman whose legendary beauty -- and wickedness -- inspired Donazetti's opera, Victor Hugo's play, and countless films and paintings at last speaks for herself. Lucrezia Borgia. The name has long been synonymous with murder, incest, and debauchery. Illegitimate daughter of Roderigo Borgia, Pope Alexander VI, her life was marked by one forced divorce, one murdered husband, and rumors of murders she commited herself -- as well as whispered affairs with both her brother Cesare and her father. But was she all that history has accused her of being, or a woman used by powerful men to gain still more power? Here, Lucrezia tells her own story, full of crime and passion. At the turn of the 16th century, the Vatican was as decadent and violent as any royal court, and Lucrezia was raised a princess. Twice married off for political gain by Alexander and Cesare, first to an older noble she grew to love, then to the dazzlingly handsome nephew of a king who she fell in love with almost instantly, Lucrezia would not have lasting happiness with either. This is the story of a woman trapped between her own desires and the iron hand of her ultra-powerful family. Her intelligence and inner steel, as conveyed by author John Faunce, mark her as one of history's great survivors. / JOHN FAUNCE received a B.F.A. in acting and an M.F.A. in directing from Carnegie Mellon University. He has produced or directed some twenty-five off-Broadway and Broadway shows. As well, he's executive-produced and written movies for television and produced feature films. He now lives in Los Angeles with his wife, a film editor, and his dog. This is his first novel." - Publisher.
