To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
22 THE SMILE OF MONA LISA LEONARDO Unbelievers! That might offend. But pagans, never. Paganism is the religion of beauty. We artists make beauty our deity. All love and un- derstand beauty.
All religions should teach beauty.
ISMAEL From whence have you come, Leonardo? LEONARDO Perhaps from as distant a land as you, but of late I've been in Florence. Just now? From admiring the giraffe. The animal with the beautiful eyes is the attraction of the city. Our Duke is never miserly with his treasures... and he never bargains when it comes to a spectacle for the people. We can pardon him for many things for that. He gave Florence a chance to see your giraffe. I saw the white hands of gentle ladies steal through blinds to offer to the animal, midst their fears and laughter, bits of delicacies. Whence came the animal? It must have taken skill and care to bring it here alive and well.
THE SMILE OF MONA LISA 23 ISMAEL True, Leonardo. It was my most costly gift to the magnifico. It's death would have been bank- ruptcy for me.
