Meer over het boek

Set in Rome, the narrative delves into the lives of American and European expatriates, particularly focusing on three American artists—Hilda, Kenyon, and Miriam—and their Italian counterpart, Donatello, who hails from a noble lineage shrouded in mystery. The story intricately weaves themes of art, morality, and the repercussions of sin, with the titular "Marble Faun" statue embodying the artistic and ethical challenges the characters confront throughout their journey.
