Tiranni minimi by Gerolamo Rovetta
"Tiranni minimi" by Gerolamo Rovetta is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book presents a poignant examination of class disparity and the struggles of a young servant girl, Agnese, who navigates a harsh life under the tyranny of her demanding employer, the Countess Orsolina. The story unfolds within a setting that reflects the societal norms of the time, depicting the rigidity and cruelty often found in servant-master relationships. The
narrative follows Agnese, a young girl from a poor background who is forced to serve the Countess. Initially, she finds hope in her new role but soon faces relentless hardships and emotional abuse from the Countess, who shows little regard for her struggles. As Agnese endures physical and psychological torment, including deprivation and lack of maternal affection, her health deteriorates. The story ultimately highlights tragic themes of exploitation and the harsh realities faced by the lower classes, culminating in Agnese's untimely death, which leaves a profound impact on the readers and serves as a critique of the societal structures that allow such injustices to persist.
