Mr. Viroli talked about his book Niccolo's Smile: A Biography of Machiavelli, published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. He talked about the influence of Machiavelli on Western history, the times in which he lived, and Florentine culture. Niccolo's Smile ID: 160904-1 | Booknotes 11/30/2000 | 1 hour http://www.booknotes.org/Program/?ProgramID=1601 http://tinyurl.com/cv442t === http://www.slate.com/id/2000218/ MANY ADJECTIVES ARE used to describe Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527). Most of them conjure associations with the devil, the father of lies. Maurizio Viroli's new biography of "Old Nick," however, is an attempt to portray the human side of this controversial figure, and thus to win him a sympathetic hearing. While sometimes elegantly written, Viroli fails to convince us that "Niccolo's smile" is anything but diabolic. http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-113525440.html http://hitsusa.com/blog/450/mona-lisa-model/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ShadowGovernment" group.
