Summary "Munkin häät" by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds around the character of Dante Alighieri, depicting an intricate tapestry of love, duty, and societal expectations set against the backdrop of medieval Italy. The opening suggests themes of personal sacrifice as a monk navigates his vows while confronting familial ties and the complexities of romantic relationships. At the start of the story, we are introduced to a lively court scene featuring Dante and a collection of nobles. Conversations shift between light-hearted tales and profound reflections on faith, duty, and personal choice. Dante, invited to participate in a discussion, responds to queries about a monk's rejection of his vows with seriousness and insight. The scene transitions to a wedding procession on the Brenta River, which is tragically disrupted when the wedding boat capsizes. Amidst the chaos, the monk Astorre, grappling with the weight of his responsibilities and the loss of his family, encounters Diana, a noblewoman tied to his past, setting the stage for the unfolding drama of their destinies and the challenges they face as they seek to navigate their interconnected lives in a world fraught with uncertainty and danger.
