Reseñas editoriales
The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone was the celebrated debut novel, albeit a thin one, of acclaimed author and playwright Tennessee Williams - a A Streetcar Named Desire and The Glass Menagerie being perhaps his most famous two works.
In this gripping overseas romance, narrated with a graceful British lilt by Shirley Knight, a wealthy aging actress, Karen Stone, is adrift in Rome after her husband dies of a fatal heart attack during the journey over. When she falls for a much younger Italian lover, the passion ignites and treachery commences in richly rewarding detail.

Set against a backdrop of jazz music, bootlegging, and lavish parties, The Great Gatsby is the story of Midwesterner Nick Carraway’s curious introduction to the decadent world of his mysterious, wealthy neighbor Jay Gatsby, whose thirst for riches is matched only by his tragic obsession with the beautiful Daisy Buchanan. This dangerously propulsive tale of glitz and glamour continues to be relevant as listeners long for escapist novels—a chance to flee into Gatsby’s famed mansion and lose oneself in the rush of opulence.

Attracted to his money but repelled by his oblivious passion, she longs for their nephew instead, the thin, awkward, myopic Franz. Newly arrived in Berlin, Franz soon repays his uncle’s condescension in his aunt’s bed.

Albinus, a respectable, middle-aged man and aspiring filmmaker, abandons his wife for a lover half his age: Margot, who wants to become a movie star. When Albinus introduces her to Rex, an American movie producer, disaster ensues. What emerges is an elegantly sardonic and irresistibly ironic novel of desire, deceit, and deception, a curious romance set in the film world of Berlin in the 1930s.

Spring Snow is set in Tokyo in 1912, when the hermetic world of the ancient aristocracy is being breached for the first time by outsiders -- rich provincial families unburdened by tradition, whose money and vitality make them formidable contenders for social and political power. Among this rising new elite are the ambitious Matsugae, whose son has been raised in a family of the waning aristocracy, the elegant and attenuated Ayakura.

Historia
In the twilight of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a young cavalry officer is invited to a dance at the home of a rich landowner. There - with a small act of attempted charity - he commits a simple faux pas. But from this seemingly insignificant blunder comes a tale of catastrophe arising from kindness and of honour poisoned by self-regard. Beware of Pity has all the intensity and the formidable sense of torment and of character of the very best of Zweig's work. Definitive translation by the award-winning Anthea Bell.

Kemal, scion of one of the city's wealthiest families, is about to become engaged to Sibel, daughter of another prominent family, when he encounters Füsun, a beautiful shopgirl and a distant relation. Once the long-lost cousins violate the code of virginity, a rift begins to open between Kemal and the world of the Westernized Istanbul bourgeosie - a world, as he lovingly describes it, with opulent parties and clubs, society gossip, picnics, and mansions on the Bosphorus, infused with the melancholy of decay.

La Dolce Vita
I listened to this while I was in Rome. The restaurants mentioned in book still exist, but today seem to be living off their glorious former days. Tennessee at his best, gothic, over the top, truthful and honest. The narrator Shirley Knight - of the same era as Tennessee. A time capsule - so much to be explored about it.

Classic Tennessee Williams
Having just recently watched the movie with Helen Mirren as Mrs. Stone, it dawned on me I should actually read some works by the author, rather than just watch movie renditions.
So cheated “read’ with “listen” and, as luck would have it, this was the only of his books I found on Audible.
Still going backwards, the movie was quite faithful to the book, with the exceptions not affecting the story at all.
Mr. Williams has a wonderfully insightful way of presenting all the contextual how’s, why’s and wherefores of a situation before zooming in on The. Point., often presenting deadpan humor in all seriousness.
Embedded in his technique is (here) the tale of a woman of a certain age and independent means struggling to rebuild a significant life after the pillars of significance in her now-former life had fallen.
Not an easy task in post-war Rome, trying to navigate the gold diggers of several ages and fallen - as well as contrived - social classes.
Though the story holds up well all these decades later, the raciness of it has lost its piquancy compared to what 2022 culture is casually exposed to.
