Books by Federico De Roberto
I vicerè (The Viceroys)
by Federico De Roberto
The title means ‘the viceroys’, because the Spanish were ruling in Italy, and this is the story of a family called Uzeda di Francalancia who lived in Catania in the 19th century. It is a sharp and cruel view of the family. They are all horrible people but very realistic. This is a big strong novel.
