“Since this case is to be tried to-day in the courts,” wrote the paper, “we will give an account of it.”

Giannita read and read. She read it over and over before she understood. There was not a muscle in her body which did not begin to tremble with horror when she at last comprehended it.

Her god-sister’s father, who had owned great vineyards, had been ruined, because the blight had laid them waste. And that was not the worst. He had also dissipated a charitable fund which had been intrusted to him. He was arrested, and to-day he was to be tried.

Achei um livro verdadeiramente excelente!!!Mas tenho a certeza que muita gente vai odiá-lo... Porque? Simplesmente porque não é socialmente correcto (para os dias de hoje) relativamente a muitas ideias que expressa,mas confesso que preenche muito bem a minha quota de socialmente incorrecto!Gostei ta

Neste meu desiderato em tentar apropriar-me da leitura de algumas das obras escritas pelos galardoados com o prémio Nobel da Literatura de todos os tempos, encontrei neste “Os Milagres do Anti-Cristo” da escritora sueca Selma Lagerlöf, a razão dessa minha vontade!
