Aldo Nadi was the greatest fencer of all time and the author of The Living Sword. In a literate, well-read, elegant, haughty, and vain voice, Nadi describes a stylish time that is now long gone. The author’s life was one of fencing, womanizing, traveling, gambling, and dueling. He crossed paths with the beautiful people of 1920s and 1930s Europe and fancied himself a great artiste and lover.
