A significant novel from Regnery
Roma
by
ALDO PALAZZESCHI
A novel of contemporary Rome–
its ascetics, pleasure-seekers,
nouveaux riches, masters and
servants-set against the hills,
and fountains, palaces and
taverns of the Eternal City.
" ROMA
is the work of a
marvelous old writer, shaggy,
confident and full of a
succulence which no twentieth
century Italians but
Lampedusa and Gadda
provide."
-Richard Stern
"Palazzeschi manages his
characters with a kind of a
whimsical irony, a gentle sad–
ness that is most engaging."
- Kenneth Rexroth
"Palazzeschi has found the
vital root, the very stuff of
unadorned life, the basic
given· of mankind." -Carlo Bo
"ROMA ' .' .
is a true encounter, a statement of faith."
- Lorenzo Gigli
"It has a quality of style and imagination that should enthrall
the most demanding reader."
