Based on Niccolò Machiavelli's History of Florence, the novel The Making of a Saint immerses the reader in the era of the medieval city - a time of political and financial intrigue of powerful families, scandalous love affairs and the amazing flourishing of science and art.
Filippo Brandolini, later to become a revered Catholic saint, lives a tumultuous life filled with political intrigue, duels, sensual pleasures and temptations ... But one day, the young man leaves worldly pleasures and passions for a shirt and prayer. James Parsons, wounded in the war and decorated, returns to his hometown. Is he a hero? Or a man no longer able to fit into a peaceful life? His family, his beloved woman no longer understand him. And James himself, as if speaking a different language - the language of war, so much changed him. What should he do? Try to break himself and become the same? Or is there another way out?
