Story5 out of 5 stars 1
Set in the turbulent years following the death of Lorenzo de' Medici, George Eliot's fourth novel, Romola, moves the stage from the English countryside of the 19th century to an Italy four centuries before her time. It tells the tale of a young Florentine woman, Romola de' Bardi, and her coming of age through her troubled marriage to the suave and self-absorbed Greek Tito. Slowly Tito's true character begins to unfurl, and his lies and treachery push Romola toward a more spiritual path, where she transcends into a majestic, Madonna-like role.

Publisher's Summary
The debut offering from one of the 20th century's most celebrated and renowned humorists, Enough Rope was an instant best seller when it was released in 1926 and made Dorothy Parker a household name. The poems in this collection range from the satiric to the sentimental; wickedly clever and yet elegantly and expertly constructed. Parker's mastery of the turn of phrase or the cynical or sardonic final line instantly grabbed the reading public's attention and propelled Parker into the national spotlight, which she would not relinquish for the rest of her life.
Dorothy Parker - social commentator, political reformer, and legendary wit - has enjoyed a special place in American culture for almost a century, and Enough Rope is an early example of Parker's unique and wry commentary on modern life. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
