About the book
About The Innocent
A gripping tale of psychological suspense. A confessional novel of a terrible crime. “It is then quite true that certain germs of hate are dissimulated at the bottom of every sentiment which unites two human creatures; that is to say, which connects two egoisms? It is then quite true that these germs of inevitable hate disturb our most affectionate moments, our best impulses? All there is beautiful in the soul bears in itself a latent germ of corruption, is condemned to become corrupted.” - from The Innocent “The Innocent is one of the most intricately nuanced of all the great psychological novels. It is also d’Annunzio’s most compelling piece of story-telling.” - Lucy Hughes-Hallett, Gabriele D’Annunzio: Poet, Seducer and Preacher of War
