| Summary | "The Eternal City" by Hall Caine is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story delves into the lives of various characters against the backdrop of societal and political turmoil in Rome, particularly focusing on themes of love, sacrifice, and social justice. The characters include a young boy named David Leone, whose poignant backstory intertwines with the central narrative that revolves around the influential figure of David Rossi, an anarchist politician seeking reform. The opening of the book introduces the struggles of a poor, vulnerable boy, David Leone, who finds himself lost in the cold streets of London, reflecting on the despair faced by those in his situation. After being rescued by a kind doctor, the story quickly shifts to a narrative set twenty years later, on the last day of the century, as the Pope's Jubilee attracts a crowd in Rome. As the festivities unfold, we meet various prominent figures, including David Rossi, who plans a significant protest against the injustices faced by the people. The setting and character dynamics are rich with political and emotional complexities, indicating that the novel will address the struggles of the working class and the individual's place within the larger societal framework.
