Description

Gabriele D'Annunzio: Poet, Seducer and Preacher of War by Lucy Hughes-Hallett. This biography charts the life of Gabriele D'Annunzio, a poet and politician who rose to prominence in early 20th century Europe. In 1919, he declared himself Commandante of Fiume, a city in modern-day Croatia, with the aim of establishing a utopia based on his fascist and artistic ideals. Through his life and ideology, Hughes-Hallett explores the emergence of fascism and the cult of nationalism that defined this period. D'Annunzio's journey from idealism to radical right-wing extremism is a complex and fascinating story that sheds light on the turbulent politics of early 20th century Europe. This book offers a nuanced portrayal of a charismatic figure who was both deplorable and captivating, and whose legacy continues to be felt today. Pages: 694; Binding: Paperback
