Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Three Crosses Federigo Tozzi died of influenza and pneumonia in Rome on 21st March 1920, just when Three Crosses had brought him recognition and success after a life of poverty and struggle. Not till a month before his death did he begin to think of allowing himself the luxury of a shelf for his books. He was born on New Year´s Day, 1883, at Siena where the scene of all his novels is laid. His childhood was unhappy. His father, violent and overbearing in character, was a prosperous innkeeper, proprietor of the "Pesce Azzurro," now the "Sasso Rosso." Such a man could only despise the timid, sensitive, yet passionate boy, who showed no inclination to follow in his footsteps - a worthless waster, whose one interest was in books, though he had proved a hopeless failure at school. Con Gli Ochi Chiusi is largely a record of his own childhood, containing a description of his mother´s death and of an early love affair. Tozzi developed slowly.
