The Virgins of the Rocks by Gabriele D'Annunzio
"The Virgins of the Rocks" by Gabriele D'Annunzio is a novel published in 1895. Written after D'Annunzio encountered Nietzsche's philosophy, the novel centers on a protagonist modeled after the Übermensch concept. Originally intended as the first book of an unfinished trilogy, it explores themes of paternity and superiority through a first-person narrator who remains curiously undefined. The work represents D'Annunzio's philosophical manifesto, blending Nietzschean ideals with his distinctive literary style in what
would become his most politically charged fiction. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
