| Summary | "A Jay of Italy" by Bernard Capes is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the year 1476 in Italy, the story introduces us to Messer Carlo Lanti, a young nobleman and his lady love Beatrice, who, along with their entourage, travels through the vibrant landscapes of Milan. The narrative likely explores themes of love, ambition, and moral complexity, particularly through the character of Bernardino Bembo—a young man with prophetic ideals and a background steeped in religious lore. At the start of the novel, we meet Carlo Lanti and Beatrice as they pause at an osteria on their journey. The interplay between Lanti's boisterousness and Beatrice's more languorous demeanor sets the tone for their dynamic relationship. As they wait for wine, we are introduced to Bernardino—a youthful mystic on a mission, who captivates both Carlo and Beatrice with his parables and unassuming grace. The tale hints at societal unrest and personal struggles within the romantic entanglements, with the characters embroiled in flirtation, jealousy, and challenges posed by the virtues they each profess. This opening suggests a blend of adventure and psychological exploration, skillfully intertwined with historical context. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
