He is prone to the excess typical of his class--despite his family's crumbling textile empire--and is victim of a crippling infatuation with Gaia, the fountainhead of his erotic fantasties and fetishes. In Piperno's urgent, explosive writing, Daniel Sonnino emerges as an unlikely hero in a modern saga of personal liberty and public ritual, love and war, sex and betrayal, sin and forgiveness, set in the opulent neighborhoods of contemporary Rome.

It sold 80,000 copies in its first two weeks of publication, prompting Italy's leading daily newspaper to describe it as a dangerous novel.Right from the title, this daring book proclaims the furiously bellicose and iconoclastic spirit that drives it.
