| Summary |
"Olocausto" by Alfredo Oriani is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative explores the complexities of human emotions and societal struggles, centering around characters grappling with poverty, love, and moral dilemmas. The opening scene introduces a young man who, having experienced success in his business dealings, navigates a bustling café atmosphere filled with students and provincial families, hinting at a contrast between social classes that will unfold further in the story. At the start of the book, we meet a young man with an air of self-assurance, who reflects on his humble beginnings while observing the lives of those around him. After a hearty meal, he finds himself questioning the monotony of his current life and decides to wander the streets of Florence. His encounter with a mysterious woman leads him towards a modest home, where he meets a fragile girl named Tina living in dire conditions with her sick mother. This poignant introduction sets the stage for exploring the themes of desperation and human connection amidst the harshness of life, offering a powerful glimpse into the emotional turmoil faced by the characters.
