Signor Formica

In Baroque Rome, the great painter Salvator Rosa schemes to free a young beauty from her miserly guardian, with the help of a mysterious comic actor. Signor Formica is a sparkling tale of art, love, and mischief.

Published in 1820 within The Serapion Brethren, this exuberant historical comedy brings seventeenth-century Italy vividly to life, full of disguise, intrigue, and theatrical delight. Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (1776 – 1822), the Königsberg-born jurist and composer, was one of the wittiest and most inventive writers of German Romanticism.

Read & Co. Books is delighted to republish this joyful tale in a beautiful collectable edition.
