Mona Lisa by Alexander Lernet-Holenia
4.0
RATING: 4 STARS
1937 (reissued 2016); Pushkin Collection/Steerforth Press
This thin volume of 96 pages packs a lot of punch. I have always liked Leonardo Da Vinci and been fascinated with his artwork and mind. In fact, my mom says the first book I picked out all by myself was a big Da Vinci art book. This story was first written in German, 1937. Pushkin has released it this month translated into English. The story is of a man who sees Da Vinci's Mona Lisa and falls for the women. He is so infatuated he digs up a woman's grave to see if his dream woman is real and alive. I really enjoyed this novella! I would recommend this one to those who love classics.
