Goethe His Life and Times by Richard Friedenthal

1154 Goethe: His Life and Times, by Richard Friedenthal (read 2 Mar 1972) This is an excellent biography, though written in the present tense. Goethe was born 8 Aug 1749, in Frankfurt, and died 22 Mar 1832 in Weimar. Arnold began his great poem on Wordsworth: "Goethe in Weimar sleeps..." and in the weeks I've been reading this book the line has been much in my head.

Leonardo Da Vinci by Richard Friedenthal

Leonardo da Vinci, escribe Richard Friedenthal, es el personaje más enigmático de toda la hisotria del arte y del pensamiento. Su vida aparece rodeada de misterio, y el paso del tiempo ha oscurecido los cuadros que de él se conservan, pues la mayoría quedaron destruidos o deteriorados en fechas muy tempranas, ya en vid de su autor.
