"Fabulous . . . an eye-opener . . . Every page holds a surprise." - Mary McCarthy


Ernest O. Hauser, a resident of Rome for many years, has this to say about his delightful and instructive book: "My purpose was both to enlighten and to entertain. . . . If there is a strong emphasis on personalities - and even most of the impersonal entries lead to people - it is because of my belief that it is the individual that moves the world." Arranged in alphabetical order, Hauser's essays are true gems.
