La Cittá Morta: Tragedia

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)

The Flame: IL Fuoco (Classic Reprint)

When she perceived a group of men leaning against the parapet and looking down into the street below, Hippolyte stopped and exclaimed: "What has happened?"With a slight gesture, betraying fear, she placed her hand involuntarily on George's arm as if to restrain him.After watching the men a moment George said: "Someone must have leaped from off the terrace." Then he added: "Shall we turn back?"She hesitated a few moments, wavering between curiosity and fear, and then replied: "No. Let's see what it is."They advanced along the parapet as far as the end of the walk.Unconsciously, Hippolyte accelerated her pace towards the small crowd that had gathered.On this March afternoon the Pincio was almost deserted. Occasional sounds died away in the gray and heavy atmosphere."That's what it is," said George. "Someone has killed himself."

The Child of Pleasure (written in 1888 and published in 1889) and its protagonist Andrea Sperelli introduced the Italian culture of the late 1800s to Aestheticism and a taste for decadence. Sperelli is a young count, who - like Joris Karl Huysmans' Baron Des Esseintes or Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray - following family tradition, seeks beauty and despises the bourgeois world; leads an extraordinary life, which he lives as a work of art; and rejects the basic rules of morality and social interaction. However, this extraordinary sensitivity also implies a certain corruption, evident in his sadistic superimposing of the two women: Elena Muti and Maria Ferres.
