The Life of Cesare Borgia is a biographical work written by Rafael Sabatini, a renowned author of historical fiction novels. The book tells the story of Cesare Borgia, an Italian nobleman and politician who lived during the Renaissance period. Cesare was the son of Pope Alexander VI and rose to power as a military commander and diplomat. He was known for his ruthless tactics and cunning political strategies, which earned him a reputation as one of the most controversial figures of his time.Sabatini’s book provides a detailed account of Cesare’s life, from his early years as a student in Rome to his rise to power as a military leader and politician. The author explores Cesare’s relationships with his family members, including his father and sister, Lucrezia Borgia. The book also delves into Cesare’s personal life, including his romantic relationships and his rumored involvement in various scandals.Throughout the book, Sabatini provides a vivid portrayal of the political and social climate of Renaissance Italy. He describes the various political factions and power struggles that shaped Cesare’s career, as well as the cultural and artistic developments of the time.Overall, The Life of Cesare Borgia is a fascinating and engaging biography that offers readers a glimpse into the life of one of the most intriguing figures of the Renaissance period. Sabatini’s writing style is both informative and entertaining, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in Italian history or the Renaissance era.And in that you have most probably the origin of the famous secret poison of the Borgias. Having been invented to fit the alleged poisoning of Prince Djem, which it was desired to fasten upon the Pope by hook or by crook, it was found altogether too valuable an invention not to be used again. By means of it, it became possible to lay almost any death in the world at the door of Alexander.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
