【内容简介】
他是天才，他是疯子，他创造了名垂青史的建筑奇迹。
《布鲁内莱斯基的穹顶》是关于一个文艺复兴时期的天才如何避开有限的人力、物质手段和艰难的自然条件建造了一个至今仍然为人我们所惊叹的建筑奇迹的故事。作者在书中描写了布鲁内莱斯基这位天才如何将一个不可能完成的任务变成一个创举，他发明新的机械，运用新的工作方法进行建造。故事里，作者将这一历史事件与瘟疫、战争、权力斗争以及思想的骚动有机地编织在一起，通过讲述历史，作者使得十五世纪的生活、传统、各种人物、社会状况跃然纸上。
作者用丰富翔实的细节描绘为读者打开了一扇了解15世纪生活的窗子。他还介绍了制砖工艺的悠久传统、运输的难题以及各个行会的强大势力。即便是在摩天大楼随处可见的今天，圣母百花大教堂的穹顶仍然保持着一种罕见的震慑人心的力量。罗斯•金用21世纪的读者可以感同身受的方式，把这段15世纪的教堂建造史生动地娓娓道来。
The New York Times bestselling, award winning story of the construction of the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence and the Renaissance genius who reinvented architecture to build it.
On August 19, 1418, a competition concerning Florence's magnificent new cathedral, Santa Maria del Fiore was announced: "Whoever desires to make any model or design for the vaulting of the main Dome....shall do so before the end of the month of September." The proposed dome was regarded far and wide as all but impossible to build: not only would it be enormous, but its original and sacrosanct design shunned the flying buttresses that supported cathedrals all over Europe. The dome would literally need to be erected over thin air.
Of the many plans submitted, one stood out--a daring and unorthodox solution to vaulting what is still the largest dome in the world. It was offered not by a master mason or carpenter, but by a goldsmith and clockmaker named Filippo Brunelleschi, then forty-one, who would dedicate the next twenty-eight years to solving the puzzles of the dome's construction.
In the process, he reinvented the field of architecture.
Brunelleschi's Dome is the story of how a Renaissance genius bent men, materials, and the very forces of nature to build an architectural wonder we continue to marvel at today. Award-winning, bestselling author Ross King weaves this drama amid a background of the plagues, wars, political feuds, and the intellectual ferments of Renaissance Florence to bring the dome's creation to life in a fifteenth-century chronicle with twenty-first-century resonance.
