«Il fuoco» is the novel by Gabriele D'Annunzio published by Opportunity Books in paperback (218 pages, in Italian).
Set in Venice, the work follows the relationship between the poet Stelio Effrena and the actress La Foscarina, marked by passion and awareness of decline. Around that bond, the work reflects on artistic creation, beauty and decadence, with the lyrical and sensual prose characteristic of the author.
The work was originally published in 1900; this August 1995 edition belongs to the Biblioteca ideale tascabile collection.
For readers of classic fiction and Italian literature seeking the text in its original language.
General Gabriele D'Annunzio, Prince of Montenevoso, sometimes written d'Annunzio as he used to sign himself, was an Italian poet, playwright, orator, journalist, aristocrat, and Royal Italian Army officer during World War I. He occupied a prominent place in Italian literature from 1889 to 1910 and in its political life from 1914 to 1924. He had the epithets il Profeta and il Vate : vate stems from the Latin vates, meaning a prophetic, divinatory, or inspirational poet.
