Featuring a foreword by Penelope Niven and a revealing afterword by the author''s nephew, Tappan Wilder, this gorgeous reissue reacquaints readers with Thornton Wilder’s first novel, The Cabala, along with The Woman of Andros, one of the inspirations for his Pulitzer Prize-winning play Our Town.

The Cabala tells the story of a young American student who spends a year in the exotic world of post-World War I Rome. While there, he experiences firsthand the waning days of a secret community (a cabala) of decaying royalty, a great cardinal of the Roman C
