The romantic adventure Christmas Ina Baranoff - former ugly duckling transformed into a lovely girl - and Dimitri Kiriline nice, count the many loves which is converted to monogamy with a fir tree and a horrible gift, as Jesus accepted the gifts of the Magi and the problems that followed, the encounter with an emaciated cat magically warms the night with two poor ones, and the prodigious life of Laim: abandoned infant , adopted son of a pair of kings, arcipirata wandering the seven seas whipped by a insatiable desire for adventure and danger, then worshiped as a god from wild populations, and finally regained the true faith, prophet, saint, if a young prince is determined to find the perfect bride, will have to cover at least some evidence to overcome, especially if the elected one is Vijenda, daughter of the terrible Borea: between a curse and an attempt of murder, happiness sweat will taste even sweeter ...
Playwright, poet, novelist: many were the talents of Gabriele d'Annunzio (1863-1938), one of the few Italian artists of the period and could not sick of provincialism also to establish itself beyond national borders - undoubted merits that go beyond the possible discomfort that may cause some of his unfortunate policy choices, ol'ostentato dandyism, or overbearing and exhausted sensuality of style. The protean poet's vocation, the five stories (parables and stories taken from a collection of 1916) grouped in this anthology, like a tiny pearl, are actually a kind of yet another confirmation: the pace and flavor of the tales are those (but without sacrificing taste for the sensuous wonder and preciousness of some exotic images), which draw from the vein (with the exception of the worldly couple of games and Dimitri Ina) and the Law folk of his native Abruzzo. As if a painting by Francesco Paolo Michetti was altered by Gustave Moreau - or vice versa.
