◆

雕完《大卫》之后，雕刻家米开朗基罗名满意大利。但他再也不能专心雕刻了：先是被教皇召去铸铜像，之后又为西斯廷教堂画圆顶。

他不喜欢做铜像，但为了做出最好的效果，一锤一锉地打磨了半年。

他也不喜欢画圆顶，但他遣散助手，一个人仰着脑袋在脚手架上孤独地画了四年。画完圆顶后的很长一段时间，他读信时只能仰着脑袋看。

为了给美第奇家族教堂雕刻门面，他冒着生命危险亲自开山铺路，从高山顶上采出质地最纯的大理石。

他竭尽心力设计圣彼得大教堂的穹顶，生命的最后一刻仍在工作。

他说：“我的自尊不允许一丁点儿的瑕疵。”

Irving Stone's powerful and passionate biographical novel of Michelangelo.

His time: the turbulent Renaissance, the years of poisoning princes, warring popes, the all-powerful Medici family, the fanatic monk Savonarola.

His loves: the frail and lovely daughter of Lorenzo de Medici; the ardent mistress of Marco Aldovrandi; and his last love - his greatest love - the beautiful, unhappy Vittoria Colonna.

His genius: a God-driven fury from which he wrested the greatest art the world has ever known.

Michelangelo Buonarotti, creator of David, painter of the Sistine ceiling, architect of the dome of St Peter's, lives once more in the tempestuous, powerful pages of Irving Stone's marvellous book.

作者简介

欧文·斯通（Irving Stone，1903—1989），美国著名传记作家，生于加利福尼亚。他一生写了25部传记小说，传主包括杰克·伦敦、弗洛伊德、达尔文等历史文化名人。《渴望生活：梵高传》和《痛苦与狂喜：米开朗基罗传》是他最有名的作品。为写作《痛苦与狂喜：米开朗基罗传》，他耗时6年，查阅了大量资料，走访了多位学者，重现了米开朗基罗荣耀又孤独的一生。

Irving Stone was born in San Francisco in 1903 and received his B. A. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1923 and his Master's degree from the University of Southern California in 1924. He wrote plays and supported himself by writing detective stories until the publication of Lust for Life, his first novel, in 1934, Stone called his work 'bio-history' and based his novels on meticulous and extensive research into the lives of the historical characters at the heart of his novels. He married his editor, Jean Factor, in 1934. He founded the Academy of American Poets in 1962. He died in Los Angeles in 1989.
