The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini (Everyman's Library Classics Series)

I read this in high school for a project and loved it so much I had to have at least one copy in my book collection - and this one is a great edition. I love the different sizing. It makes it fun to read a book that's a bit bigger than normal sizing and the cover is lovely.

This book gives an incredible peek into the everyday life of the exceptionally complicated, adventurous life of a renaissance soldier, goldsmith, painter, musician. I understand why it is truly one of the top 10 autobiographies ever written. I could not put it down. If you are interested in the Renaissance, you have to read this book.

I'm an art teacher, and I think this book is very special because of the author.Some years ago I read this book in Danish, and I'm very pleased to read it in English now.

read it for yourself. it is a must.
