For anyone who’s a fan of Gabriele D’Annunzio and doesn’t speak Italian, I just found out that there will be a brand new English translation of Il Piacere (Pleasure) published this summer.  This is pretty big news considering that up until now, the only version of this novel available in English (under the title Child of Pleasure) was heavily censored and dates all the way back to the late 19th century.  Can’t wait to read it!
