In his book “Prophets of the Renaissance,” Eduard Shure tries to analyze some of the key ideas of the era: the connection between man and the Universe, the mystery of the Eternal Feminine, eternal birth and rebirth. How these ideas developed and how the synthesis of the ancient world and Christianity was carried out, the reader will see in the example of five great people of the era: the inspirer of the Renaissance, the genius of Faith - Dante, the genius of Science and Prophecy - Leonardo, the genius of Beauty - Raphael, the genius of Will and Individuality - Michelangelo, the genius Love - Correggio. The book is written vividly and imaginatively and is of interest to any reader. Translation: E. Berger
