In 1506, at the invitation of Sultan Bayazid II, Michelangelo Buonarroti arrives in Constantinople. The genius sculptor abandoned the construction of the statue of Pope Julius II and, having a crush on the wealthy pontiff, secretly fled to Ottomans. Michelangelo had to build a bridge over the Golden Horn. The sculptor is not the first to be offered to build this bridge. Before that, the Sultan himself disliked Leonardo da Vinci's project. Michelangelo celebrates in his heart in advance - with this bridge he teaches the Pope to be clever and shows Leonardo the place of the frame. But he does not know one thing - there are already intrigues against the Florentine at the Sultan's court... The novel "Talk about battles, kings and elephants" by the famous French writer, laureate of the Goncourt prize, Matthias Henard (1972) is based on historical facts. Michelangelo's letters in the book are also authentic.
