La ambición por apoderarse de un dinero que anda escondido en una casa, la pasión de dos mujeres jóvenes por el mismo hombre, los tópicos de los celos y de los adulterios que nunca se consuman, el misterioso asesinato del cacique del pueblo, toda una serie de ingredientes escénicos servidos con un lenguaje de eficacia cómica, en el que los tópicos del género se renuevan desde la misma parodia.

taly, 1326. While the brilliant and wily Cesco is schooled in his new duties at the hand of a hard master, Pietro Alaghieri travels to Avignon, current seat of the Papacy, to fight his excommunication and plead for Cesco's legitimacy. He doesn't know an old foe has been waiting to ruin Pietro?s life and seize control of Verona for himself.? Back in Verona, separated from everyone he trusts, Cesco must confront his ambitious cousin, a mysterious young killer, and the Holy Roman Emperor himself. A harrowing series of adventures reveal a secret long hidden, one that threatens Cesco's only chance for true happiness.? Inspired by Shakespeare, Dante, and Petrarch, this Renaissance novel of intrigue and passion reflects the heights of drama, exploring the capricious whims of lady Fortune, who has her favorites ? and her fools. "This is one of the most exciting, and satisfying, reads that I have immersed myself in for a long time.?There is a masked rapist, an assassin, political machinations, chases, fights, scandal - and romance.?David Blixt is a gem of a writer."?- Helen Hollick, author of The Pendragon's Banne
En este volumen se publica por primera vez una de las obras más influyentes del intelectual español del siglo XV Alonso de Cartagena, presente en muchas de las bibliotecas coetáneas y de gran influencia en los terrenos literario y filosófico del humanismo peninsular. El texto de Alonso de Cartagena es resultado de la reelaboración y comentario de los conceptos Amor y Amistad de la Tabulatio et expositio Senecae de Luca Mannelli. A la edición crítica del Título de la amistança, con texto latino enfrentado de la Tabulatio, se suma un amplio panorama de su tradición manuscrita, así como de la difusión de Seneca y del compendio de Mannelli en la Castilla cuatrocentista.
