“You talked to one of my lieutenants. He has, over the years, played the role repeatedly and with great conviction. More often than not, he’s done so to protect my identity. Other times, it was because I suspected a potential client might.. struggle with my gender. As if men had a monopoly on murder.”

#let me explain to you how genius the deconstruction of Irene Adler is #because in making her a conscious manipulation; an artful and purposeful creation by moriarty in order to ensnare sherlock #they have destroyed The Woman; the one individual who eclipsed the whole of her sex and at whose feet Sherlock fell #they’ve taken the goddess down off her pillar and revealed the woman in the fridge was a doll all along #Irene Adler is only a story; can only ever be a story; because there is no Woman #only women #and they are villains as well as heroines and they are clever even when they make mistakes and they can hold the world together whether to take advantage of it or to save it for the people they love but there is no Woman #there never could be #and Sherlock had to learn that #elementary #the best goddamn show #your favs could never

Because of reasons.

The downloads are .zips so that the cyberpolice don’t break down my door, and within the .zips is an .epub of the book. You can view them on your computer with FBReader, or on an iOS device with Readmill. I’ve also linked the Goodreads page for each book so you can see whether or not the book is up your alley, and read what other people thought of it.

This is not necessarily a recommendation post because I haven’t yet read all of these, nor is it a comprehensive collection of every Borgia book out there: it’s just pretty much every Borgia ebook out there. Enjoy!

NON-FICTION:

Lucrezia Borgia: Life, Love, and Death in Renaissance Italy by Sarah Bradford (mediafire / box)
Cesare Borgia: His Life and Times by Sarah Bradford (mediafire / box)
The Borgias: The Hidden History by G.J. Meyer (mediafire / box)
The Borgias and Their Enemies by Christopher Hibbert (mediafire / box)
The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli (mediafire / box). While this is more of a political and philosophical read, Machiavelli was fan of Cesare and often cites his actions.

FICTION:
(Approach with caution, take with a grain of salt, etc.)

The Poisoner Mysteries by Sara Poole (mediafire / box)
The Lucrezia Borgia books by Jean Plaidy (mediafire / box)
Sins of the House of Borgia by Sarah Bower (mediafire / box)
The Family by Mario Puzo (mediafire / box)

If any links break, please let me know and I will update the post straight away.
