About This Item
New York. 1987. Dutton. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. Remainder Mark On Side Edge. 0525245537. Translated from the Italian by Hugh Shankland. 145 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literature Translated Italy . FROM THE PUBLISHER - Written in the early 1970s. An ingenious and somewhat archaic fable set at the end of the 19th century, with the Italian king Umberto the First of Savoy as its central character. Enticed over the Gotthard pass into Switzerland by what he perceives as an opportunity to turn a quick profit, Umberto sells off a property of his in Monferrato to an eccentric German lady. He sets off incognito with a faithful entourage for the Canton of Uri, and thus begins a light-hearted Belle -poque adventure whose farcical verve parades its origins in the French comic playwrights of the 19th century and whose champagne-like music imbues the whole narrative with melodic rhythms. inventory #29878 ISBN: 0525245537.
