Theory of Algebraic Surfaces

“The book has an obvious historical interest … . the exposition of many topics is extremely informative both in terms of content and style. Moreover, reading this work is highly recommended for young lovers of classical algebraic geometry and for those who want to become familiar with the theory of algebraic surfaces. Lastly, a feature of the text that makes the reading very pleasant and stimulating is the concreteness of the analytic approach that can be found at every step.” (Antonio Lanteri, Mathematical Reviews, March 2022)“The readers are expected to have only elementary prerequisites on complex manifolds and as such this book … can be very useful for a graduate student or a non-expert starting to work on algebraic geometry.” (Margarida Mendes Lopes, zbMATH 1462.14001, 2021)
