About this product
Product Information
Lucrezia Borgia is one of the most vilified figures in modern history. The daughter of a notorious pope, she was twice betrothed before the age of eleven and thrice married--one husband was forced to declare himself impotent and thereby unfit and another was murdered by Lucrezia's own brother, Cesar Borgia. She is cast in the role of murderess, temptress, incestuous lover, loose woman, femme fatale par excellence. But there is always more than one version of a story. Lucrezia Borgia is the only woman in history to serve as the head of the Catholic Church. She successfully administered several of the Renaissance Italy's most thriving cities, founded one of the world's first credit unions, and was a generous patron of the arts. She was mother to a prince and to a cardinal. She was a devoted wife to the Prince of Ferrara, and the lover of the poet Pietro Bembo. She was a child of the renaissance and in many ways the world's first modern woman. Dario Fo, Nobel laureate and one of Italy's most beloved writers, reveals Lucrezia's humanity, her passion for life, her compassion for others, and her skill at navigating around her family's evildoings. The Borgias are unrivalled for the range and magnitude of their political machinations and opportunism. Fo's brilliance rests in his rendering their story as a shocking mirror image of the uses and abuses of power in our own time. Lucrezia herself becomes a model for how to survive and rise above those abuses.

Reviews
" The Pope's Daughte r, the story of Lucrezia Borgia as a living, feeling woman rather than just another bodice waiting to be ripped, stands as an evident tribute both to its much maligned heroine...in all her beauty and fiery dignity." -- The New York Times "Lucrezia Borgia enthralls Fo, and he signals his enthusiasm with arch, knowing humor directed at the reader... Fo's Lucrezia more femme fatale than incestuous poisoner." -- Kirkus Reviews "[. . .] not quite like any of the other thousand books written on Lucrezia Borgia: a deeply felt three-dimensional portrait that replaces flamboyant rumors with fallible, admirable humanity." -- The Christian Science Monitor "In imagining hilarious and scandalous interactions and snappy dialogue, Dario Fo brings the infamous Lucrezia Borgia to life. He removes her from the reduction to mere victim or evil temptress and constructs a compelling and comic tale that ironically comments on all the Borgias' antics (or murderous schemes)." -- World Literature Today "Fo's high-spirited work, [is] a novel that comes close to a romp." -- Barnes & Noble Review " The Pope's Daughter offers a studied reconsideration of Lucrezia's life, swerving dramatically from accounts of her as 'a monster, a poisoner, and a prostitute.' " -- Washington Post " The Pope's Daughter is sophisticated, clever, challenging [. . .]- everything we have come to expect from a Nobel Laureate and in a first novel." -- Book Sexy Review "Fo is a kind of medieval jester, and here he entertainingly describes the many virtues of that grand dame of the Renaissance, Lucrezia Borgia." -- El País (Spain) "In this novel, Fo reveals Lucrezia's humanity, thus liberating her from the stereotypes of wanton, incestuous woman and placing her into proper historical context and into her day-to-day life." -- The Huffington Post (Italy) "Dario Fo takes the image that has been sent down to us all the way from John Ford's Tis a Pity She's a Whore through Victor Hugo's play Lucrezia Borgia to a slew of the recent popular biographies and turns it inside out." -- La Repubblica (Italy), "Lucrezia Borgia enthralls Fo, and he signals his enthusiasm with arch, knowing humor directed at the reader...

Dvd arrived quickly and well packaged and taken care of. The item was listed as acceptable and met all of my needs but here's a quick description of what I got: Some wear is visible on the plastic sleeve on the outside of the case. The inside leaflet was still there! The disk has about 3 very notable scratches, although none are bigger than about 2 centimeters. Little to no grime anywhere on the product. Great service!
