| Summary |
"Tempesta e bonaccia: Romanzo senza eroi" by marchesa Colombi is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the complex emotional entanglements of its protagonist, Massimo Guiscardi, as he navigates love, desire, and moral dilemmas in a society rife with social conventions and expectations. The narrative explores themes of unrequited love and the societal pressures that accompany romantic relationships. The opening of the novel introduces Massimo Guiscardi, a thirty-year-old from a modest bourgeois background, who is deeply infatuated with a married woman, the marchesa Vittoria Prandi. Massimo reflects on his passionate feelings and the conflict caused by his affair, wrestling with the morality of his actions and the jealousy he experiences in the presence of her husband, Ernesto. As the story unfolds, Massimo encounters a young artist named Fulvia, who captivates him and intensifies his internal struggle, intertwining the threads of love, desire, and loyalty in his life. The reader is drawn into Massimo's emotional turmoil, setting the stage for a rich exploration of love and its consequences. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
