The “Classics at University” series publishes works included in the literature curricula of universities, academies and institutes. Most of these works are difficult to find not only in bookstores and libraries, but also in electronic format. The works of Gabriele d'Annunzio (1863–1938) - Italian poet and writer, politician, military pilot, dictator of the Republic of Fiume - shocked public morality with their epicurean and erotic descriptions, and for staging the drama “The Martyrdom of St. Sebastian" he was even excommunicated from the church. The novel "The Innocent" - about the insane passion and jealousy of the aristocrat Tullio - was filmed by Luchino Visconti.
