Clizia

Autor H. D. Greaves
en Limba Engleză Paperback
LUST, and particularly SEXUAL LUST, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, is the key theme and motivating force throughout CLIZIA, H.D. Greaves's novelization of Niccol Machiavelli's bawdiest and most scandalous comedy. Deliberately written in an elegantly old-fashioned style to mirror the intricacies of the Italian Renaissance, Greaves' adaptation vividly shows this unusual tale still possesses considerable power to shock, surprise, and amuse-five centuries after it first appeared We are introduced to CLIZIA, a beautiful little orphan, who has been raised by a wealthy and respected family as their foster daughter. All is well until she turns sixteen and matures into a succulent young woman, all innocent virginal sexuality. This condition enflames her foster brother - as well as her foster father - with both of them rabidly desiring to sexually possess the young woman. Sofronia, wife and mother, aware of their dangerous folly, must find a way to bring her husband back to his senses, as well as discipline her errant son. Success in returning integrity and decency back to the family depends on her use of a shocking sexual deceit - just one of many unusual surprises - with CLIZIA'S ultimate fate hanging in the balance. An irreverently humorous look at Renaissance mores - so very different from today's - CLIZIA is generously filled with outrageously droll, ribald, and robust Machiavellian misadventures. LUST, it would seem-and as we who are wise well know-is never out of fashion.
