The Patriot (Piccolo Mondo Antico)

Part 3 — MAROTZ

Mary Prichard Agnetti translation

By John Ayscough

A story of the present day, containing vivid word pictures of Southern Italian and Sicilian life, written by a distinguished Catholic. The passionate peoples of the South, tempered by the sweet influences of religion, despite science and modernity, are depicted with great fidelity. It is safe to say that no truer account of Convent life has ever been printed.

"A literary masterpiece."—The Observer.
