Grijesi obitelji Borgia

Sarah Bower

Roman je smješten u raskošni, ali mračni svijet renesansne Italije, pod vlašću moćne i ozloglašene obitelji Borgia. Sarah Bower majstorski spaja povijesne činjenice s fikcijom, stvarajući atmosferu napetosti i dekadencije.

Glavna junakinja, Estense (poznata kao Violante), mlada je Židovka koja bježi pred progonom i dolazi u službu dvora Lucrezije Borgije, kćeri pape Aleksandra VI. Kroz njezine oči pratimo intrige, izdaje, ljubavi i smrtonosne ambicije unutar obitelji čije ime i danas izaziva fascinaciju i strah.

Violante postaje svjedokinjom i sudionicom spletki koje uključuju incestuozne odnose, političke brakove, otrove i vjerske manipulacije. Unatoč vlastitim moralnim sumnjama i ranjivosti, pokušava preživjeti u svijetu gdje je moć iznad svega, a odanost se lako prodaje. Kroz naraciju prožetu emocijama i dramom, čitatelj ulazi u srce najmračnijih tajni renesanse i ženskih sudbina unutar svijeta oblikovanog muškom dominacijom i političkim ambicijama.

Ruski prozor

Dragan Velikić

Perhaps the greatest virtue of Velikić's writing, which culminated in this novel, is his extraordinarily refined feeling for life's details, which he depicts and evokes with an almost shamanic power of materialization.
