| Summary |
"Senz'Amore" by marchesa Colombi is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative explores themes of love, loneliness, and the emotional void present in the lives of various characters, highlighting the profound sadness of those who have not experienced true love. The story particularly focuses on characters such as Teresa, a hardworking young woman laboring in obscurity, and Marco, who grapples with his family's tragic history of early mortality and the weight of his own feelings. The opening of "Senz'Amore" presents a preface discussing the title's implications about love's absence and the deeper despair it creates in human existence. The story quickly introduces us to Teresa, who works diligently on lace-making but yearns for a glimpse of freedom beyond her confined life. As she reflects on her dreams and the contrasting nature of her mundane existence, a melancholic tone is established. The preface sets the stage for the exploration of various characters and their struggles, signaling a poignant examination of societal norms and personal aspirations throughout the novel.
