Description
In Anna Maria Ortese's acclaimed novel, a Milanese count's journey leads him to a desolate island inhabited by a community of lost noblemen, blurring the lines between reality and delusion. This work masterfully explores themes of the tortured aristocrat, the innocent victim, and the resilience of the human soul. Ortese weaves a complex narrative, characteristic of Italian magical realism, that delves into profound questions of identity and existence.
