Complete and unabridged, with 59 full-page plates by Telemaco Signorini, Edvard Munch and Luigi Nono. A Neapolitan nobleman is buried alive during a cholera epidemic, digs himself out, and returns to find his wife and his friend have not waited. Corelli outsold Doyle, Wells and Kipling combined and was despised by every reviewer in England, which she noted in her prefaces. This edition is bound with a gallery of 59 plates of painting, 1850–1924, among them works by Edvard Munch, Giuseppe De Nittis and Giulio Aristide Sartorio.
