Description: "La refinada cena en la mansión de los Nóbile termina con los delicados encantos que, sin duda, los distinguen. Sin embargo, sus invitados descubren que salir del convite les será--por algun motivo que escapa a la lógica--casí imposible. Transcurrirán los dias así, enclaustrados, hasta que la etiqueta y el linaje comiencen a desgatarse, dando paso al salvajismo; lo única posibilidad a su alcance para lograr la supervivencia."--Container back cover.
