The city's long tradition of attracting foreign visitors is celebrated by selections from Mark Twain's \u003ci\u003eThe Innocents Abroad\u003c\/i\u003e, E. M. Forster's \u003ci\u003eA Room with a View\u003c\/i\u003e, and the rapturous impressions of Stendhal (who gave his name to Stendhal syndrome). Mary McCarthy provides a vivid depiction of a twentieth-century market town; Penelope Fitzgerald weaves a gentle comedy of manners among Florence's fading aristocracy; Vasco Pratolini, one of the city's most renowned modern authors, tells a tender tale of brotherly love among the urban poor under 1930s fascism; and Salman Rushdie dazzles with the magical realism of \u003ci\u003eThe Enchantress of Florence\u003c\/i\u003e. George Eliot, Rainer Maria Rilke, Henry James, D. H. Lawrence, Somerset Maugham, Cuzio Malaparte, and Iris Origo are among the other brilliant writers whose stories illuminate facets of this fascinating city. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEveryman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eELLA CARR is an editor at Everyman's Library in the UK, and author of the guide \u003ci\u003eFlorence Walks\u003c\/i\u003e.
