Description

Note the inscription of this copy by the author "al Professore Guglielmo Ferrero." Ferrero (b. 1871 — d. 1942) was an Italian historian, journalist and novelist, author of the Greatness and Decline of Rome (5 volumes, published after English translation 1907–1909). Ferrero devoted his writings to classical liberalism and he opposed any kind of dictatorship and unlimited government. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature twenty times. Ferrero was invited to the White House in 1908 by President Theodore Roosevelt, who had read The Greatness and Decline of Rome

Many of these fictional stories of Branchi are noted to have first appeared in Il Carroccio. As the cover art suggests, Branchi wrote these stories typically on various transatlantic liners, as he went from one part of the world to another.
