History as Fiction
Loving, Pierre | June 11, 1930 issue

The article discusses books and authors. Writer Alfred Neumann, in his book, "Guerra," takes up the revolution of the Carbonari, as in "The Rebels," and rewrites it for us from the viewpoint of Guerra, the leader. The story begins with Guerra's release from the island of Elba. It is both effective and plausible, and the dramatic crises-of which there are many-are not at all forced. They occur naturally in the flow of the tale, which is thick with intrigue, dark plots, the scheming of prelates and aristocrats, love and lust, the shedding of blood, and the half-finished talk and action of conspirators who scarcely dare trust one another.
