Fausto Bragia, e altre novelle
By Luigi Capuana
The title story follows Fausto Bragia through the sleepless night after a long-desired love affair begins, and through what it costs him. Eleven more stories by a master of Italian verismo range from comedy, as in the May Day of Doctor Piccottini, to secret dramas and an evocation of the dead.
Summary written with Claude Opus 5.5.
