THE BORGIAS: THE HIDDEN HISTORY
Book ID/图书代码： 12731113B60035
English Summary/英文概要： This enlightening book is about the most infamous family of the Italian Renaissance --here in every colorful detail is the real story of the Borgias and their indelible, tumultuous world, written by the gifted author of the acclaimed WORLD UNDONE: The Story of the Great War and THE TUDORS.
The Tudors netted almost 39,000 copies in hardcover and 54,000 in trade paperback and sold 10,000 eBooks. With an equally sweeping scope, a controversial premise, and lavish illustrations, The Borgias should match or surpass that performance. With Showtime’s The Borgias big success here in the States and whose third season will soon air here it is most likely to be equally successful overseas and thus the timing of this book should be made available to further the insatiable appetite for the interest in this outrageous piece of history.
While most historical and literary interpretations paint the Borgias as utterly amoral and ruthless, Meyer has a radically different take. Backing up his case with ample evidence, he shows us that rumors of their infamy have been greatly exaggerated, and that their legacy was in many ways beneficial.
Embraced by reviewers and readers alike, Meyer’s books combine fresh, personality-driven, immensely readable history with authoritative research and fascinating "Background" sections that open up key story elements. His previous books brought new readers and insight to seemingly well-covered subjects. The Borgias and Renaissance Italy offer Meyer’s richest focus yet.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这本启发性的书讲的是意大利文艺复兴时期最臭名昭著的家族——在这本书里每一个丰富多彩的细节都发生在博尔吉亚家族真实的故事里，而且他们不可磨灭、动荡的家族史由广受好评的天才作者所写，作者曾写过《解开世界》：一部关于伟大的战争和都铎王朝的故事。
《都铎王朝》销售了近39,000本精装版，4,000本平装版和10,000本电子书。在一个有争议的前提下，同样销售广泛，配有豪华的插图，《博尔吉亚》应该达到同样的高度甚至超过它。随着《博尔吉亚》在美国电视节目上的成功，第三赛季将很快到来，并且有可能在海外取得同样的成功，因此这本书应该趁热打铁，多写一些这段离奇的历史来满足读者。
虽然大多数历史和文学作品诠释的波吉亚是完全不道德和无情的，但梅耶发表了完全不同的看法。在证据充足的情况下，他向我们展示了他们的骂名被谣言大大夸大了，他们遗留下来的东西在许多方面是有益。
梅耶的书把新鲜、个性鲜明，有极大可读性的历史和权威研究以及迷人的“背景”部分结合在一起，开拓了主要的故事元素，获得了评论家和读者的一致好评。他以前的书为看似深入讨论的主题带来了新的读者和洞察力。博尔吉亚家族和文艺复兴时期的意大利梅耶提供了最丰富的素材。(LNL)
