Inhaltsangabe

The Conquest of Rome (1885) On the train bringing him to the capital from
the deep South, the newly-elected deputy Francesco Sangiorgio dreams of a
glittering future in Rome. To his disappointment the Eternal City greets
the young man's ambition with indifference, but step by imperceptible step,
Sangiorgio makes his mark on his parliamentary colleagues, and establishes
a place in high society. But his fate is sealed when he falls under the
sway of the enigmatic Angelica Vargas, and the 'conquest of Rome' that was
within his grasp seems tantalisingly to slip away. The readability of this
contemporary translation contributed significantly to Serao's growing
reputation among the reading public of Victorian England.
