Living Sword A Fencer's Autobiography

"Although the sport of swordplay required him to keep his foil buttoned, no one ever said anything about his pants....He was born in Livorno, Italy, in 1899. He learned to fence. He learned to make love. He fenced. He made love. He gambled. He fenced again. He made love again. He gambled again. Sometimes he fenced, made love or gambled for the sheer joy of it. More often, he picked his opponents--swordsmen, women and gaming tables--with an eye toward financial renumeration. Along the way he caught a lot of colds....Aside from its humorous value, which is considerable, this collection of anecdotes becomes a sort of fable of the lifestyles of the rich and famous in Europe between the world wars."Nadi, Aldo is the author of 'Living Sword A Fencer's Autobiography' with ISBN 9781884528200 and ISBN 1884528201.
