«Laurent le Magnifique» is the biography of Lorenzo de' Medici by Jack Lang, published by Librairie Académique Perrin in paperback (248 pages, in French).
Lorenzo de' Medici came to power in 1469 at the age of twenty and ruled Italy with his wealth and diplomacy. The essay analyses the decline of the Medici in a century marked by the Turkish advance, Europe's turn towards the north and Italian disputes, and portrays Lorenzo as the universal man of the Renaissance and the political hero.
The book was originally published in 2002 as «Il Magnifico: Vita di Lorenzo De' Medici»; this French edition is from 2005.
For readers interested in the history of the Renaissance, Medici Florence and biographies of great political figures.
Jack Lang was an American sportswriter who spent more than forty years covering New York's baseball teams.
