«Trionfo della morte» is the decadent novel by Gabriele D'Annunzio, published by Magis Books in hardcover (499 pages, in Italian).
Key novel of Italian decadentism: the aristocrat Giorgio Aurispa lives trapped between an intense love passion and the fascination with death, while seeking a transcendent meaning in an atmosphere of beauty and ruin. The influence of Nietzsche and Wagner runs through his inner conflict and the lyrical, sensual tone of the prose.
1995 edition; originally published in 1894. Belongs to D'Annunzio's 'Trilogy of the Rose'.
For readers interested in European decadentism and in classic Italian narrative of the late 19th century.
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.
