About This Item
New York: Macmillan, 1896. First ed. Hardcover. A fine set. No jackets.. Two small octavo volumes in yellow cloth with dark red titling and ornamentation; approx 300 pages per volume; 18 cm. Crawford, an American writer, lived for many years of Italy and is regarded for his accurate and rich portrayals of 19th Century Italian life. "Set against the backdrop of picturesque 19th century Italy, "Taquisara" is a tale of love, honor, and sacrifice. The novel's eponymous character, Taquisara, is a man of unwavering loyalty and courage, whose life becomes intertwined with the beautiful and enigmatic Veronica Serra. As the narrative unfolds, readers are drawn into a world of passion, intrigue, and dramatic tension. Crawford's masterful storytelling is on full display in "Taquisara." His evocative descriptions bring the Italian landscape to life, making readers feel as though they are walking through the sun-drenched streets of Naples or gazing upon the rugged beauty of Sicily. His characters are vividly drawn, each with their own strengths, flaws, and desires that make them feel real and relatable. But perhaps the most compelling aspect of "Taquisara" is its exploration of human emotions and relationships. Crawford delves deep into the hearts and minds of his characters, revealing their innermost thoughts and feelings with sensitivity and insight. The result is a novel that is not only entertaining but also deeply moving."-aBookBot ¶ Crawford, F. Marion 1854-1909. (Francis Marion). ¶ BAL 4198
