Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A fantastic and philosophical vision of the apocalypse by one of the most striking Italian novelists of the twentieth century. From his solitary buen retiro in the mountains, the last man on earth drives to the capital Chrysopolis to see if anyone else has survived the Vanishing. But there's no one else, living or dead, in that city of "holy plutocracy," with its fifty-six banks and as many churches. He'd left the metropolis to escape his fellow humans and their struggles and ambitions, but to find that the entire human race has evaporated in an instant is more than he had bargained for. Meanwhile, life itself-the rest of nature-is just beginning to flourish now that human beings are gone. Guido Morselli's arresting postapocalyptic novel, written just before he died by suicide in 1973, depicts a man much like the author himself-lonely, brilliant, difficult-and a world much like our own, mesmerized by money, speed, and machines. Dissipatio H.G. is a precocious portrait of our Anthropocene world, and a philosophical last will and testament from a great Italian outsider.…

Translated from the Italian by Hugh Shankland. paperback. keywords: Europe Italy Literature Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION - Written in the early 1970s. An ingenious and somewhat archaic fable set at the end of the 19th century, with the Italian king Umberto the First of Savoy as its central character. Enticed over the Gotthard pass into Switzerland by what he perceives as an opportunity to turn a quick profit, Umberto sells off a property of his in Monferrato to an eccentric German lady. He sets off incognito with a faithful entourage for the Canton of Uri, and thus begins a light-hearted Belle -poque adventure whose farcical verve parades its origins in the French comic playwrights of the 19th century and whose champagne-like music imbues the whole narrative with melodic rhythms. inventory #29759. …
