Facino Cane recenzia

Elektronická kniha Facino Cane:The novella unfolds around a blind old man, Facino Cane who claims to be a descendant of the 14th century condottiere of the same name. The narrator meets Facino Cane at a wedding, and begins a conversation with him. Facino then recounts his life story involving the most extraordinary tales of murder, exile, buried treasure, incarceration and a daring escape. A thoroughly enticing and enthralling short story, with a narrator that has a magnificent knack for getting inside another person\'s head. This demonstrates that Balzac could have mastered the melodramatic adventure style of writing for which Alexandre Dumas and Victor Hugo are best known. If slightly longer, \'Facino Cane\' would be a ready companion piece to Dumas\' epic \'The Count of Monte Cristo\'.
