✦ Synopsis

When a book begins with a dedication "to the memory of Don Domenico Emanuele Cajetano, Count Ruggiero, Prince of Salerno.. . whose association with the mighty of this world, was to me, despite his sad end, a shining, though unfortunately never attainable, example. And remains such. Wherever the hangman at Kustrin in 1709 may have thrown his poor raven-gnawed remains, may God make the earth light for him!" you know that you are going to face neither a boring chemical text nor a pretentious art critical analysis.
