Paolo Loffredo, sixth generation of a large family of publishers and booksellers engaged in the production and distribution of books since the late nineteenth century, creates in 2012 the new editorial company Paolo Loffredo Editore. The historical site was until the '80s in the heart of the historic centre of Naples in Via San Biagio dei Librai, lower Decumano and also known as the SpaccaNapoli.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Giuseppe Loffredo decided to add book selling to the book production, which definitively imposed itself after World War II with the publication of manuals for the University and for the School that succeeded in establishing themselves soon throughout Italy.

Description
Ritrarre dal vero
Studi su Gerolamo Rovetta romanzieree verità di una cultura
During a conversation/interview released in 1903, Gerolamo Rovetta - at the highest point of his artistic maturity - gave to the novel the testamentary value of his conception of poetics. He recognised to this literary genre the ability to keep its authenticity untouched over time. Therefore, it could be surprising how literary historiography had left many questions on his novel production, to which this volume wants to answer by focussing on novels that had success among the public in the XIX century (Mater dolorosa; Le lacrime del prossimo; La Baraonda). The volume is also focused on “minor” novels (Il processo Montegù; Il primo amore; L’idolo) and on the less studies ones (Gli Zulù nell’arte, nella letteratura e nella politica or articles on magazines).
A representation which aims to portray sincerely from the truth emerges: a representation which is “cold and clear”, in the unceasing flow of modern lide, in which there is no way of reaching optimistic and solver narrative results.
