英语词汇d’annunzio的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

D’Annunzio. A synonym for a great lover and adventurer. Gabriele D’Annunzio’s prose style was admired by James Joyce, and his play Le Martyre de Saint Sebastien was set to music by Claude Debussy, but the Italian poet, playwright, and novelist, who died in 1938, age 75, is better remembered today for his sexual and military adventures than for his lyric writings. D’Annunzio’s whole life was onstage. His spectacular exploits by sea and air were widely reported in the press when he fought for the Allies during World War I. He is the only playwright (if not director) ever to become an actual dictator—for two years beginning in 1919, when he and his small volunteer force occu- pied the city of Fiume. His sexual adventures were legion, mak- ing Casanova look like an amateur. Stating that “a good soldier is prepared for anything,” D’Annunzio carried condoms into battle in Napoleon’s snuffbox, which he had won as a prize of war. There are legends that he rode to the hounds in the raw with a naked lady at the front of his saddle, nonchalantly strode nude into the dining room of an illustrious hotel, slept on a pil- low filled with locks of hair from his conquests, served wine from a carafe made from the skull of a virgin who had commit- ted suicide because of him, and used strychnine as an aphro- disiac. Once he boasted that he had eaten a roasted baby. D’Annunzio, whose most famous affair was with the great ac- tress Eleonora Duse (about whom he wrote a callous tell-all bi- ography), publicly boasted that he was “hated by a thousand husbands.” It is said that but for his often “swinish behavior,” he would have won the 1926 Nobel Prize in literature. See casanova.
