Non sempre l'amore fa sentire come sulle nuvole. Molto spesso invece si ha la sensazione opposta, quella di stare con la testa inabissata sott'acqua, senza ossigeno. Ambientato a fine Ottocento, nella parte d'Italia socialmente agiata, questo romanzo cattura una relazione all'epoca inusuale. Il conte Eriprando degli Ariberti, di appena ventitré anni, è sentimentalmente legato a Elisa Navaredo, che di anni ne ha ben trentadue. Da questa relazione insolita scaturirà una storia altrettanto coinvolgente, dove una serie di personaggi si inseriranno man mano per accompagnare i lettori verso una fine inaspettata. Gerolamo Rovetta (1851-1910) è stato uno scrittore italiano. Caratterizzato da uno stile tendente al verismo, al pessimismo, ma anche all'ironia, Rovetta è stato abile osservatore della borghesia italiana di fine Ottocento.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Corcoran Gallery of Art, located just two blocks from the White House, is a privately funded museum. It usually closes at 5 p. m. on Fridays, but on the night of October 24, 2008, the lights were still burning well into the evening. With a two-story atrium and a sweeping staircase, the museum is often rented out for weddings and parties. #2 Karine Albert McCall, a petite and slender sixty-eight-year-old blonde, had arrived with her husband, Donald McCall, a retired cellist. The grandchild of Charles Clark and his banking heiress wife, Celia, Karine had grown up in luxury at her grandmother's San Francisco Tudor castle. #3 Huguette Clark was a client of Wallace Bock, an attorney who handled her legal affairs. She was close with Kamsler, her accountant, and would call him frequently. #4 The Clark family had a reunion at the museum, and while some were trust funders, others lived off their salaries. The senator had bequeathed an estimated $15 million to his surviving children, but fortunes have a way of diminishing as they pass through several generations.
