"The writer of the greatest promise to-day in Italy, and perhaps one
of the most unique figures in contemporary literature, is Gabriel
d'Annunzio, the poet-novelist."――_The Bookman._
"This book is realistic. Some say that it is brutally so. But the
realism is that of Flaubert and not of Zola. There is no plain
speaking for the sake of plain speaking. Every detail is justified
in the fact that it illuminates either the motives or the actions of
the man and woman who here stand revealed. It is deadly true. The
author holds the mirror up to nature, and the reader, as he sees his
own experiences duplicated in passage after passage, has something of
the same sensation as all of us know on the first reading of George
Meredith's 'Egoist.' Reading these pages is like being out in the
country on a dark night in a storm. Suddenly a flash of lightning
comes and every detail of your surroundings is revealed."――_Review of
the Triumph of Death, in the New York Evening Sun._
