Publisher Description

Andrea Sperelli aspettava nelle sue stanze un'amante. Tutte le cose a torno rivelavano infatti una special cura d'amore....

Quale amante non ha mai provato questo inesprimibile gaudio, in cui par quasi che la potenza sensitiva del tatto si affini così da avere la sensazione senza la immediata materialità del contatto?

...le sfiorò l'omero con le dita, e sentì che ella rabbrividiva....

Volgeva la mano, sotto la bocca di lui, per sentire i baci sulla palma, sul dosso, tra le dita, intorno al polso, su tutte le vene, in tutti i pori....

Con Il Piacere pubblicato nel 1889, Gabriele D'Annunzio introduce nella nostra letteratura il personaggio dell'eroe decadente, in contrasto con il naturalismo e il positivismo allora imperanti.

Con d'Annunzio risuonò nella letteratura italiana una nota, fino ad allora estranea, sensualistica, ferina, decadente (Benedetto Croce)

"The story of the italian poet Andrea Sperelli, the representative of a unique and inimitable way of living, an esthete who wants "to live life as a work of art". A continuous looking for beauty in every aspect of life, from love to passion, from poetry to nature. A decadent novel."

    " Another story that is on the sad side. But fascinating look into the mind of a "lady's man". Translation: The Child of Pleasure. "

    " Finally after weeks of laboured pedantic reading, I managed to finish the book!! The translation really does not do justice to the story which evokes the decadent aristocratic life of Andrea Sperelli: torn between loving 2 very different women! "

    " Quite hard in the langueage, it's anyway one of the best classics in Italian literature. "
