Gregor Rezzori

Opis

Growing up after World War I and the collapse of the empire, Rezzori lived in a twilit world suspended between the formalities of the old 19th century order which had shaped his parents and the innovations, uncertainties, and raw terror of the new century. The haunted atmosphere of this dying world is rendered in these pages.
