《佛罗伦萨的文艺复兴人》作品简介
从1265年但丁诞生到1642年伽利略去世，在近四百年的时间里，西方文明经历了一次重要蜕变。在表象上，绘画、雕塑、建筑都发生了引人注目的进步：在更深层次，人文主义思想的诞生、自我概念的觉醒则为蜕变提供了非常原始的动力。中世纪蒙昧的浓雾逐渐散去，古典时期的知识被重新重视，科学技术空前发展，而驱散浓雾的火种就来自意大利中部的佛罗伦萨。从《神曲》到《十日谈》，从西斯廷教堂天顶壁画到日心说，这座城市为文艺复兴做出了巨大贡献。
《佛罗伦萨的文艺复兴人：从但丁到伽利略》将带领读者经历一场跨越四个世纪的旅行，去探寻，为什么文艺复兴会源于佛罗伦萨？这里的人们在文艺复兴中扮演了怎样独特的角色？这次蜕变为西方文明烙下了怎样的印记？

The Renaissance Man of Florence
From the birth of Dante in 1265 to the death of Galileo in 1642, Western civilization underwent a major transformation in nearly four hundred years. On the surface, painting, sculpture, architecture have all taken place remarkable progress: at a deeper level, the birth of humanistic thought, the awakening of self-concept provides a very primitive impetus for transformation. The fog of medieval obscurantism gradually dissipated, the knowledge of the classical period was re-emphasized, science and technology developed unprecedently, and the fire to disperse the fog came from Florence in central Italy. From the Divine Comedy to the Decameron, from the Sistine Chapel zenith frescoes to the Heliocentric theory, the city has contributed greatly to the Renaissance.
The Renaissance Men of Florence: From Dante to Galileo takes the reader on a journey spanning four centuries to discover why the Renaissance originated in Florence. What unique role did people here play in the Renaissance? What mark has this metamorphosis left on Western civilization?
