It shaped all of Europe and controlled politics, scientists, artists, and even popes, for three hundred years. It was the house of Medici, patrons of Botticelli, Michelangelo and Galileo, benefactors who turned Florence into a global power center, and then lost it all. The House of Medici picks up where Barbara Tuchman's Hibbert delves into the lives of the Medici family, whose legacy of increasing self-indulgence and sexual dalliance eventually led to its self-destruction. With twenty-four pages of black-and-white illustrations, this timeless saga is one of Quill's strongest-selling paperbacks. 克里斯托弗•希伯特於1924年出生於英國萊斯特郡，英國皇家文學院成員、萊斯特大學文學榮譽博士，畢業於牛津大學拉德利和奧里爾學院。二戰期間他入伍成為一名步兵，曾兩次負傷，並於1945年獲得軍功十字勳章。《新政治家》稱其為“傳記作者中的明珠”，《泰晤士報》則形容他“可能是世上最具天賦的通俗歷史學家”。克里斯托弗•希伯特著有許多廣受讚譽的作品，包括《拉格倫王的滅亡》（榮獲1962年海涅曼文學獎）、《倫敦城市史》《法國大革命》《羅馬城市史》《佛羅倫斯城市史》等。有兩個兒子和一個女兒，現居於泰晤士河畔亨利小鎮。 譯者馮璇，北京外國語大學英語學院畢業，曾在出版社從事著作權進出口工作，現專門進行著作翻譯。
