ROMOLA: Romance, by George Eliot

ROMOLA

This famous English writer, she loved very much Florence, so much to write a novel from the misleading title (Romola), a historical novel set in Renaissance. By reading, you will know the story of a year that changed the history of the world: The 1492 is the year of the discovery of America, the year he died Lorenzo de Medici. The pages tell you about shipwrecks and pirates, jewels and riches that walk – in the seas and in the hearts of men – even in the lives of three main characters: Tito, Romola and a city, Florence.
