This dazzling hardcover collection brings to life the magnificent southern regions of Italy, from Naples to Sicily, as seen through the eyes of literary greats from Ovid and Virgil to Elsa Morante and Elena Ferrante.Southern Italy has long inspired one of the most vigorous literary traditions in Europe. Visitors since antiquity have sought to capture the extraordinary natural beauty and cultural riches of the region, and in this wide-ranging collection such notable foreign visitors as Goethe and Somerset Maugham sit alongside many of Italys finest writers, including Luigi Pirandello, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, Elio Vittorini, and Anna Maria Ortese.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Florence's world-famous Renaissance is brought to life in this anthology through the eyes of its most illustrious chroniclers. Beginning with Dante's vision of Inferno, teeming with his Florentine enemies, to the artist Cellini's swashbuckling adventures in High Renaissance Italy, and including the pioneering writings of Boccaccio, Ficino, Guicciardini and Vasari, this selection shows that in literature, as in art, Florence was a trailblazer.The city's long tradition of mesmerizing foreigners is celebrated in selections from Tobias Smollet, Henry James, D.H. Lawrence and Stendhal (whose rapturous impressions gave name to 'Stendhal syndrome'), while indigenous writers such as Curzio Malaparte and Vasco Pratolini paint a far grittier portrait of Florence under the looming cloud of Fascism and World War II. Salman Rushdie's dazzling novel The Enchantress of Florence takes inspiration from the city's gilded Renaissance past, while Mary McCarthy's masterful travelogue captures a bustling 20th century market city.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Everyone loves a party: this beautiful hardcover gathers a glittering array of famous celebrations by great writers past and present--from Austen, Tolstoy, Maupassant, and Nabokov to Alan Hollinghurst, Edna O'Brien, Don DeLillo, and Jhumpa Lahiri.Momentous parties have long provided dramatic scenes in fiction, from Natashas first ball in War and Peace to Darcy snubbing Lizzy in Pride and Prejudice to J. Edgar Hoover and Truman Capote rubbing shoulders in Don DeLillos The Black-and-White Ball. Revelry can be revealing of character, as in Gatsbys extravagant bash in F. Scott Fitzgeralds The Great Gatsby and the decadent partying of the jaded expats in Ernest Hemingways The Sun Also Rises. More decorous affairs can also reveal profound depths, as in Katherine Mansfields The Garden Party and the parties at the center of those two modernist masterpieces, Virginia Woolfs Mrs. Dalloway and James Joyces The Dead.There is room on this dance floor for humor, as well, in Evelyn Waughs Bella Fleace Gave a Party, Dorothy Parkers Arrangement in Black & White, and Sakis The Boar-Pig. Glamour with a gothic twist makes an entrance in the fateful costume ball in Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca and in Edgar Allan Poes The Masque of the Red Death, at which Death himself is a guest. All sorts of literary greats mingle in this festive gathering, a perfectly entertaining gift for readers and partygoers alike.

Forster's A Room with a View, and the rapturous impressions of Stendhal (who gave his name to Stendhal syndrome). Mary McCarthy provides a vivid depiction of a twentieth-century market town; Penelope Fitzgerald weaves a gentle comedy of manners among Florence's fading aristocracy; Vasco Pratolini, one of the city's most renowned modern authors, tells a tender tale of brotherly love among the urban poor under 1930s fascism; and Salman Rushdie dazzles with the magical realism of The Enchantress of Florence.
