Epigraph: A great spirit, above all insult, injustice and hurt. / (La Bruyere) / Quotation followed by a four stanza poem with the title, 'Hamlet'.
Author's note: 'This novel is only a part of the manuscript originally intended for publication. The original manuscript entitled "La Mafia" extended over twenty five chapters ... In translation I have been indirectly obliged to condense the material, but the authenticity of the subject-matter, the plot, the facts and the characters, have not changed, and I believe its essential integrity remains.'
