Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

With an Introduction by D.H. Lawrence. (Awarded the Nobel Prize
1928). An unusual book, both in its story and its setting in a
remote Sardinian hill village, half civilised and superstitious.
The action of the story takes place so rapidly and the actual drama
is so interwoven with the mental conflict, and all so forced by
circumstances, that it is almost Greek in its simple and inevitable
tragedy.

The Church of Solitude tells the story of Maria Concezione, a young
Sardinian seamstress living with breast cancer at the cusp of the
twentieth century. Overwhelmed by the shame of her diagnosis, she
decides that no one can know what has happened to her, but the
heavy burden of this secrecy changes her life in dramatic ways and
almost causes the destruction of several people in her life. This
surprising novel paints the portrait of a woman facing the unknown
with courage, faith, and self-reliance, and is the last and most
autobiographical work of Grazia Deledda, who died of breast cancer
in 1936, shortly after its publication. An afterword by the
translator offers additional information on the author and examines
the social and historical environment of that time.
