The Heart of Rome is a novel written by F. Marion Crawford, published in 1903. The story is set in Rome, Italy, and revolves around the lives of three American expatriates living in the city. The main character is Paul Griggs, a successful writer who has come to Rome to escape a scandal in his past. He becomes friends with the wealthy and charming Prince Montevarchi, who introduces him to the beautiful and mysterious Princess Sant' Ilario. As Paul becomes more involved in the lives of his new friends, he begins to uncover secrets and scandals that threaten to destroy their lives. The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, betrayal, and the corrupting influence of power. It paints a vivid picture of life in Rome at the turn of the 20th century, and offers a glimpse into the world of the city's aristocracy and their complex social relationships. The Heart of Rome is a compelling and engaging read, filled with drama, intrigue, and romance.There was room to pass this danger, however, and they had since laid a couple of stout boards over it, weighted with stones to keep them in place. Beyond, the passage rose till it was high enough for a man to walk upright. Judging from the elevation now reached this passage was hollowed in the thickness of one of the main walls of the palace, and it was clear that the water could not reach it. A few yards from the chasm, it inclined quickly downwards, and at the end there were half a dozen steps, which evidently descended to a greater depth than the floor of the first outer chamber.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
