| Summary |
"Los desposados: Historia milanesa del siglo XVII - Tomo 1" by Alessandro Manzoni is a historical novel likely written in the early 19th century. The narrative promises to explore the sociopolitical issues surrounding love and marriage in 17th-century Milan, primarily focusing on the main characters, Renzo Tramaglino and Lucía Mondella, as they navigate societal obstacles that seek to thwart their union. The opening of the novel introduces us to D. Abundio, a curé of a quaint village near Lake Como, who finds himself embroiled in a troubling situation. It begins with the priest learning about a formidable command from a powerful nobleman, D. Rodrigo, directed at preventing the marriage of Renzo and Lucía, a couple eager to proclaim their love. As D. Abundio struggles with this unexpected interference and fears for his own safety, it becomes evident that the story will delve into themes of power, class struggle, and the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in a world rife with corruption and injustice.
