Description
Denise Mina reimagines the tumultuous story of Girolamo Savonarola, a Dominican friar who sparked a series of fires in 15th-century Florence.
In his impassioned sermons, Savonarola railed against corruption and excess, leading to the infamous 'Bonfire of the Vanities', where luxuries were incinerated. Mina draws parallels between medieval Florence's febrile atmosphere and today's culture wars, exploring the tensions between wealth, inequality, and freedom of speech.
This gripping historical drama delves into Savonarola's downfall and the consequences of his actions, shedding light on the complexities of power, morality, and the human condition.
