| Summary |
“Clelia: Il governo dei preti - Romanzo storico politico” by Giuseppe Garibaldi is a historical-political novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the struggles of its main character, Clelia, against the oppressive environment of Rome, dominated by corrupt clergy and their servants, as well as the tumultuous backdrop of the political landscape during that era. The narrative promises to intertwine romance with themes of resistance and the fight for justice. The opening of the novel sets the stage in Rome, introducing Clelia as a beautiful young woman admired for her grace and spirit. However, she becomes the object of desire for a powerful cardinal, leading to the introduction of Attilio, her courageous childhood friend, who vows to protect her. The tension escalates as Attilio becomes increasingly aware of the dangers posed by the cardinals and their schemes. With themes of love, loyalty, and the fight against tyranny emerging prominently, the beginning of the novel lays a solid foundation for the unfolding drama and intrigue surrounding Clelia and her allies.
