The famous Gothic novel from Ann Radcliffe

From the first moment Vincentio di Vivaldi, a young nobleman, sets eyes on the veiled figure of Ellena, he is captivated by her enigmatic beauty and grace. But his haughty and manipulative mother is against the match and enlists the help of her confessor to come between them. Schedoni, previously a leading figure of the Inquisition, is a demonic, scheming monk with no qualms about the task, whether it entails abduction, torture - or even murder. The Italian secured Ann Radcliffe's position as the leading writer of Gothic romance of the age, for its atmosphere of supernatural and nightmarish horrors, combined with her evocation of sublime landscapes and chilling narrative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read
Reviewed in the United States on 25 January 2017

Read this book for one of my college English classes and really enjoyed it. I was very skeptical at first because I havnt read very many classics. When first reading the book I didn't like it. The language was very hard to read and understand. However, after getting through the first fifty pages I got used to the writing style and actually started to really enjoy the story. There was so much mystery and supernatural elements and suspense throughout the book that kept my interest. The story was filled with evil characters and good characters fighting for their own gain. The characters were also tightly interwoven in politics and relation that they were not wholly in the know about. Overall once you get used to the language it's a great read and I would recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Der letzte Roman von A. Radcliffe "The Italian".
Reviewed in Germany on 23 December 2012
Verified Purchase
Verglichen mit den früheren Romanen dieser Autorin erscheint "The Italian" von Sprachbeherrschung und Wortschatz her ungleich besser. Jedoch sind die "Kehrtwendungen" nicht genügend verdeckt und die Aufrechterhaltung der Spannung gelingt nicht in allen Abschnitten des Romans. So wirkt z.B. die Gefangeschaft des Hauptprotagonisten künstlich in die Länge gezogen. Insgesamt kann ich aber diesen Roman sowie alle anderen der Autorin sehr empfehlen.
