ALISTAIR MOFFAT BOOK REVIEW
It could not be otherwise, what
with its unparalleled art and architecture, amazing food and wine, and
exquisite natural beauty. Even the sun shines differently there. It’s almost
unfair.
Author Alistair Moffat fell under
Tuscany’s spell in 1971 when studying abroad.
In Tuscany: A History, Moffat offers up an entrancing story of the
region from pre-historic times to the present day.
And what a story to tell: of
oligarchs and popes, iconic artists and writers, soaring cathedrals and
medieval walled towns.
Even a bad writer could beguile
readers with a narrative woven with tales about Dante, Giotto, the Medici, the
Knights Templar and the Black Plague.
Fortunately for us, Moffat is
anything but a hack.
