Description
This historical novel presents the life of an imaginary Renaissance physician, Zeno of Bruges, and reflects Yourcenar s fascination with the occult. Zeno's personality and life is a combination of DaVinci, Paracelsus, Copernicus, and Giordano Bruno. Through Zeno s search for truth and the characters surrounding him, Yourcenar narrates life in the 16th century, perfectly reconstructing that time period in which the Middle Ages and Renaissance met.
