Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The House of Delusion Many things combined to make Melchior Pryde decide to close his Italian villa at Fiesole, high above the small, but beautiful, Arno, and return to his ancestral home in America. He was a little disturbed at the thought of such a change of residence for a man who had left his sixtieth milestone some years behind him; but he had reasons that, on mature deliberation, appeared to him to outweigh any apprehensions. He had been away from the United States for a long time, and during his absence the deaths of many of his own generation had left him the head of the house of Pryde, with nephews and nieces to whom he was only a name. He ought to know these children of his brother and sisters. They ought to know him. He wanted their affection. He didn´t relish the idea of being known to them only as an expatriate uncle, who set no value on family ties.
