| Summary |
"L'Innocente" by Gabriele D'Annunzio is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the complex inner life of Tullio Hermil, a man grappling with his own morality, guilt, and the consequences of infidelity toward his wife, Giuliana. The narrative explores themes such as love, betrayal, and the burdens of passion within the fabric of relationships. The opening of "L'Innocente" introduces Tullio Hermil, who is consumed by guilt for a crime he has committed and reflects on the emotional and physical distance that has grown between him and his wife, Giuliana. He recalls their earlier relationship, marked by love and affection, and contrasts it with his current state of affairs, where he is unfaithful and distant. As Tullio navigates through memories of their past, he expresses a mix of regret, selfishness, and a desire to reconnect with Giuliana while simultaneously yearning for another woman. The complexity of his emotions sets the stage for a profound exploration of the human condition and the impact of choices on personal integrity and relationships.
