Antonio Fogazzaro Knihy

román líčící rozpor mezi láskou a politikou, jehož hlavní hrdina předjímá typ nadčlověka

Slavný, roku 1895 poprvé vyšlý román, klasické dílo italské literatury. Autor sám jej charakterizoval jako intimní rodinný román, naplněný dechem bolesti, odevzdané lásky, rodinného citu. Připomněl také, že v něm chtěl zachytit i vlastenecký cit a lásku toho někdejšího malého světa, touhu jeho lidí sjednotit Itálii, zbavit ji rakouské vlády. Dřevoryty: Václav Mašek
