5.0 out of 5 stars It's a wonderful novel!, June 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bomarzo (Paperback)

Bomarzo es una novela impresionante. Enciclopédica en su saber, hermosísima en su texto, inolvidable en su impacto. Narra la vida (inmortal) del duque Pier Franceso Orsini, señor de Bomarzo, nacido en 1512 y muerto (¿?) al parecer en mayo de 1572, en Italia. Bomarzo es un paisaje renacentista impecable y su construcción novelística es superlativa. Hay que leer a Bomarzo, no por obligación, sino por placer.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Incredible Vision of the Italian Renacentism, April 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Bomarzo (Paperback)

It's an amazing description of the Italian renacentism, which combines history, fiction, adventure, romanticism and drama. You won't feel disappointed if you read it. The knowledge of Mujica Lainez is more than overwhelming. I strongly recomend this excellent exponent of the Argentine literature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great work of art, February 25, 1999

This review is from: Bomarzo (Paperback)

Incredibly, this author is argentinian. The tone, ambientation, and rythm suggest a writer with a closer relationship with the tale itself. A fine narration with the unique perspective of a talented homosexual of upper class upbringing. Not comparable to Capote or others that could be associated by mere characteristics. It is History, and it is a novel. Undoubtedly a masterpiece.
