Apollo Classics: The Day of Judgment

First published in 1975, THE DAY OF JUDGMENT is a quiet masterpiece hailed alongside THE LEOPARD as a classic of Italian, and world, literature.

Immediately hailed on publication as a classic of Italian and world literature, THE DAY OF JUDGMENT is a beautiful meditation on what a life really means. Around the turn of the twentieth century, in the isolated Sardinian town of Nuoro, the aristocratic notary Don Sebastiano Sanna reflects on his life, his family's history and the fortunes of this provincial backwater where he has lived out his days.
