Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Donna Diana It was ten minutes to twelve on the last night of the year 1900. Fleecy clouds, now gray, now edged with brightest silver, drifted across a sky of deepest violet colour, and above them, calm, cold, indifferent, rode the winter moon. The piazza of the Capitol was wellnigh deserted. A couple of policemen paced up and down in front of the Capitoline Museums. They had sauntered up to two individuals, the only other occupants of the silent square, and had separated again, murmuring ´Forestieri!´ to each other, with a shrug of the shoulders. Rome was burying another century. Some of her people were thronging the basilicas in which the Te Deum was being sung, where the altars were ablaze with candles and the air fragrant with incense, dedicating a new era to the crucified Christ. Others were crowding the restaurants and the wine-shops, sacrificing to human nature, or eating, drinking, and making merry in their own homes surrounded by their families and intimates. From below, away beyond the little piazza of the Ara Coeli, rose the confused hum of the town, the rattle of wheels, the distant rumble of electric trams, and the cries of the sellers of hot cakes and roasted chestnuts. But in the shadow of the Capitol it was very quiet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
