Sinopse

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.Sample Book Insights: #1 Uncle Vili was a proud Italian who had served in the Italian army during World War I. He was always bragging about his service, and he took credit for everything, down to the unforeseen brilliance of his most hapless schemes.#2 Uncle Vili knew how to convey that intangible though unmistakable feeling that he had lineage, which came with the suggestion of wealth. He was intolerant of poor posture and bad table manners, and he detested what he called the atavisms by which Jews gave themselves away.#3 Vili was a brilliant peddler, and after the war, he was given a Georgian estate in Surrey, where he lived in lordly penury under the assumed name of Dr. H. M. Spingarn. He was as devoted to Il Duce as he was to the Pope.#4 He was a consummate marksman, a remarkable athlete, a shrewd businessman, and a relentless womanizer. He would use this phrase after negotiating a difficult transaction: Didn’t I warn them.
