Der postum entdeckte Nachlass des großen sizilianischen Romanciers wirft ein neues Licht auf den berühmten Schöpfer des Gattopardo. Beinah dreißig auf Hotelbriefpapier verfasste und bis dato unbekannte Briefe legen Zeugnis ab von der weltoffenen Persönlichkeit des gebildeten jungen Mannes, der zwischen 1925 und 1930 mit dem Zug die Metropolen Europas bereiste. Rom, Florenz, Zürich, Berlin und London sind nur einige der Stationen auf der Route des Fürsten, der uns – liebevoll, augenzwinkernd und bisweilen boshaft – von Kultur, Kunst, Klatsch und Kulinarik erzählt und uns so ungewöhnliche Reisebilder einer vergangenen Epoche schenkt. Ein kostbares Vermächtnis, das die faszinierenden Goldenen Zwanziger noch einmal auferstehen lässt!

This author explores the intricacies of family dynamics and the profound impact of strong maternal figures on an individual's formation. Their work often delves into psychological depths, illustrating how environment and personal experiences shape our perception of the world. With delicate prose and keen insight, they capture the nuances of human nature and its continuous evolution. Their writing is marked by a melancholic introspection and an examination of their characters' inner lives.

She had never felt love like this before! Julien thought about Louise's husband. The mayor was an important and powerful man. If Julien seduced Renal's beautiful wife, he would be in danger. He was sure that he would lose his job. Perhaps Renal would kill him!
