| Summary |
"Come l'onda... Novelle" by Luigi Capuana is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The tales explore complex human emotions and relationships, often set against the backdrop of Sicilian life. Central to the narrative is a protagonist entangled in romantic longings and moral dilemmas, particularly revolving around lost love and the turbulence of new passions. The opening of the story introduces a man who is reflecting on a significant past event in his life. He is waiting in the shadows, anticipating a clandestine meeting with a mysterious woman, which suggests a sense of urgency and secrecy. As he prepares for the encounter, vivid descriptions of the night and his inner thoughts convey a mixture of excitement and trepidation. His recollection is tinged with nostalgia and yearning as he ponders the enigma of the woman with whom he is entwined, revealing the complexity of his feelings for her and the shadows of a past love that continue to linger in his heart.
