Paperback. Condition: Very Good. B/w IIlus (illustrator). A compelling biography of the iconic Tower of Pisa. In this unconventional biography, Nicholas Shrady recounts the rich history of the Tower of Pisa, a structure internationally recognized as both an architectural improbability and a cultural icon. Shrady traces the seminal events in Pisa that prompted the building of the leaning tower, the circumstances and progress of the tower's curse-ridden construction that began in 1173 but stopped for one hundred years after the first four stories were built - its stabilization still continues today - and its eventual conversion into an architectural phenomenon, which has captured the attention of scientists, scholars and tourists worldwide. Nearly a millennium old, the Tower has stood as a silent witness to the great historic and social events that unfolded around it and has influenced such historic figures as Dante, Machiavelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo Galileli and Lord Byron. But Shrady goes beyond the construction and history of the tower and weaves together his narrative with studies of the highly-charged symbolism which successive epochs have projected upon the icon, each according to their needs. This is a compelling tale of inspired architecture and human machinations, of temporal ambitions and spiritual longing, of science and superstition, and of our persistent urge to gaze in awe at all that is improbable and strange as seen through the unique prism of the world's most resilient of bell towers. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
