| Summary |
"Gli amanti: pastelli" by Matilde Serao is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the complexities of love and relationships, focusing primarily on the characters Grazia and Nino Stresa, as well as other intertwined romantic stories. The narrative explores themes of passion, desire, infidelity, and the emotional turmoil that accompanies romantic entanglements. The opening of the novel introduces the character Grazia at a ball, where she experiences an unsettling yet captivating encounter with Nino Stresa. Grazia is struck by Nino’s intense gaze and languid demeanor, which fascinates her despite his apparent insensitivity. As their relationship develops, Grazia grapples with the raw and often bruising nature of Nino's affections, facing internal conflict as she is drawn to him while simultaneously feeling repulsion from his brutish advances. This initial segment sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the tumultuous dynamics between the characters and the broader implications of their romantic entanglements, painting a portrait of love that is both alluring and fraught with pain.
