Giacomo Donis Author, Editor & Translator

Giacomo Donis, born in 1950 in the USA, living in Venice, Italy since 1972, made and sold thousands of beautiful inexpensive earrings for ten years to survive and then prosper, before forging ahead into the slave’s life: thirty years translating philosophers, marxists, and art critics. The Empty Shield is his first book, to be followed by its companion volume, An Abyss of Dreams: Tails of the Night of the World.
