Menen, Aubrey. ROME REVEALED.
Thames and Hudson, London, 1960.
244 pp, 4to (12 1/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. "What is Rome? Is it the fountains of Bernini, the music of Respighi, the sculptures and frescoes of Michelangelo? It is the Eternal City, home of Christian martyrs, noble Popes and Prelates? Or is it a city built not on the seven hills but on fraud and corruption, the product of two thousand years of decadence, of voluptuary Emperors and predatory Empresses? Is it the glory of St Peter's and the majesty of the Colosseum by moonligh t o r i s it the rackety clamour of the juke-box bars and the expensive squalor of La Dolce Vita? Or is it....? The emininent novelist Aubrey Menen has made Rome his home. His eyes are perennially open to what Rome really is. He sees the city th a t ha s h ad as many different facets as there have been generations within her walls. For every age Rome has meant something different, whether noble or fraudulent and Mr Menen with an incisive, even a mordant, wit explodes many a favourite m yth . B ut he al so is aware of Rome's disarming and bewitching beauty, a beauty that is amply demonstrated in the 151 superb photographs, of which 41 are in colour, that make this undoubtedly the most comprehensive and unusual pictorial portrait of R om e t hat ha s ev er been published...."
