Fiction. Literature. Thriller. Historical Fiction. This is Irving Stone's powerful and passionate biographical novel of Michelangelo. His time: the turbulent Renaissance, the years of poisoning princes, warring popes, the all-powerful Medici family, the fanatic monk Savonarola. His loves: the frail and lovely daughter of Lorenzo de Medici; the ardent mistress of Marco Aldovrandi; and his last love�??his greatest love�??the beautiful, unhappy Vittoria Colonna. His genius: a God-driven fury from which he wrested the greatest art the world has ever known. Michelangelo Buonarotti, creator of "David", painter of the Sistine ceiling, architect of the dome of St Peter's, lives once more in Irving Stone's marvellous… (mere)

Michelangelo, Life, Letters, and Poetry af Michelangelo (Anonym bruger)
Anonym bruger: One of the two biographies of Michelangelo written while he was alive, Condivi's life was among Stone's major sources. It's fascinating to see how he novelised it.

The Lives of the Artists af Giorgio Vasari (Anonym bruger)
Anonym bruger: One of the two biographies of Michelangelo written while he was alive, Vasari's life (a major part of a much larger work) was among Stone's major sources. It's fascinating to see how he novelised it.

The Life and Works of Michelangelo af Rosalind Ormiston (Anonym bruger)
Anonym bruger: A fine illustrated biography is almost obligatory while reading Stone's novel. This one is simply superb.

The Poetry of Michelangelo: An Annotated Translation af James M. Saslow (Anonym bruger)
Anonym bruger: Only for rather hardcore fans of Michelangelo, this complete, bilingual and highly erudite edition of his poems may serve to illuminate further (albeit to a far less degree than the paintings and the sculptures) the tremendous personality Irving Stone had to dramatise.… (mere)

Very biographical novel about the famous artist. Stone gives our hero a tepid and unconvincing heterosexual unhappy love affair. Mostly, when not checking off the major artworks, the novel is about MA's lifelong struggle with authority figures, and manages to have prctically no details about sculpture. The movie was better, as it had the enliving prescence of Rex Harrison. (

Buen libro, en su mayoría entretenido, pero para mi fue poco emotivo, nada que ver con el “Anhelo de Vivir”. En el libro “Anhelo de Vivir” siento que el autor trabajo mas en los diálogos y pensamientos de los personajes, en la esencia de los personajes, fueron un poco mas modernizados (por así decirlo), o probable me identifique mas en algunas ocasiones.

Just an incredible read about an incredible man that accomplished incredible things. If you are the least bit interested in the life, art, struggles and humanity of Michelangelo then this is a must read. (

He sat before the mirror in the second floor bedroom sketching his lean cheeks with their high bone ridges, the flat broad forehead, and ears too far back on the head, the hair curling forward in thatches, the amber-colored eyes wide-set but heavy-lidded.

From this vantage point he came to a realization that everything that had happened to him before this had been a journey upward through time, everything that occurred after it a descent. If he could not control his fate, why be born?
