About This Item
Hanover, NH: Middlebury College Press, 2000. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. INSCRIPTION FROM ADRIA BERNARDI on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to upper front edge of dust jacket; otherwise very minimal wear; A lyrical novel recreates the lives of 16th century Italian artists, artisans, and peasants. The interconnecting journeys of Adria Bernardi's characters begin in a remote 16th century Apennine village, continuing through terrains of both privilege and privation to the Tuscan plains, and on the household of the artist Titian. Their stories explore a range of responses by several classes of citizens dealing with similar life and death issues. Bernardi's attention to detail, such as the exact method of preparing ultramarine pigment, is seductive and lovely - one believes in the characters and in their stories.
