The year is 1492, and with the death of Lorenzo de Medici the great Renaissance city of Florence is about to enter a period of upheaval. To it comes a young stranger, Tito Melema, survivor of a shipwreck in which the man who was as a father to him, Baldassare Calvo, may have died. He has with him gems which, if sold, wil help to start him in life. When word reaches him that Baldassare is still alive, and held a slave, the egoistic Tito is confronted with a moral dilemma: Set out on travels that may be fruitless, and maybe spend the only money he has on a ransom, or remain in Florence where he has hopes of a future, and the hand of the beautiful Romola? 692 pages; two volumes, both cloth-bound. Includes a box, also cloth-bound.
