Max Gallo has nothing left to prove as the author of historical biographies! Of course, those who know him find his writing simplicity that make texts accessible and accurate historical elements. In fact, this book is divided into two parts which can be read independently of the other. The first on Savonarolle Jerome, a monk that could be described as extremist whose ideas and method are comparable to the jihadist propaganda that are emerging today. The second best known of Machiavelli tells the story of Nicolas philosopher founder of political science. This book is brilliantly built by Max Gallo, which offers a reflection on the politics and government in general through two completely different characters.
