description: One of the world’s greatest writers—in love with a great city.In a fascinating travel book, Stendhal carries the reader along with him on a grand tour of Rome. Described with all the wit and sensitivity of a master storyteller, incomparable Rome comes breathtakingly alive. No one but the author of The Red and the Black and The Charterhouse of Parma could capture the city’s spell so the Colosseum, the Pantheon, St. Peter’s, the Forum, fountains, ruins, art treasures, the Italian people—all the pageantry that was once Rome lives again, and for all time! the most original and diverting of all guides to the Eternal City!
