I WAS HAVING JETLAG!
NO,the truth is i was having a teribble headache!
I have just finished a book named I,Mona Lisa by Jeanne Kalogridis.
A huge curiousity behind the smile of this beautiful lady painted by world famous artist Leornado da vinci caused me a halt when i was searching for interesting book to read at my lunch hour.
Now after reading 515 pages for a week,i was satisfied with the book and feels estactic that finally i came to know her life but.....but......when i searched for mona lisa in wikipedia,there is a big contradiction to the book that i read.HUH!
In the book,Mona Lisa's real bond father is Leornado Da vinci.
In the book,Mona Lisa forever in love is Giuliano di Lorenzo de'Medici although Mona Lisa married a second time to francesco because in order to save her Antonio father and herself after the riot in Florence.and also because Francesco told her that Giuliano has passed away.
In the book,Mona Lisa bores Giuliano a son and in order to protect the baby,Lisa survived through pains,lies and hardships.
Yet....Some of the information in the books similar to what wikipedia wrote.
And so i turn to the very last page of the book,and there is a Q&A with the writer.
The writer says that she scrupulously adhere to historical fact that if a fact is recorded,she wont contradict it and she do take liberty in writing possible scenes behind the scenes ,giving the characters motivation to explain their actions because we cant really know what the characters were thinking or what they really intended: that's where fiction enters the story.
She also was forced to speculate more while writing this book for simple reason that little is known about Lisa.and she took advantage of the freedom offered by Lisa's relative anonymity which allowed her to involve Lisa in a conspiracy.
Oh Myong!
The fact is,i enjoyed the book and when i'm reading it,to me it's alive.A really brilliant writer.
And one more fact,LIE and DENIAL never cease till now.
Only,bible,the book of life,is the truth of all.
