Le Roman de Léonard de Vinci: La résurrection des Dieux

by Dmitry Sergeyevich Merezhkovsky

Translated by Jacques Sorrèze

"Le Roman de Léonard de Vinci: La résurrection des Dieux" by Merezhkovsky is a historical novel published in 1901. The work centers on the life of Leonardo da Vinci during the Renaissance, exploring the era's contradictions between medieval monasticism and emerging humanist values. As the second part of a trilogy, the novel develops the author's vision of history as a struggle between the religion of spirit and the religion of flesh, while standing fully autonomous in its portrayal of the Italian humanist's life and times.
