Don Orsino
ByPublisher Description
Don Orsino by F. Marion Crawford delves into the complexities of family legacy and the transition from tradition to modernity in post-unification Italy. The protagonist, a young man from a noble family, navigates the challenges of living in Rome during a time of significant social and political change. The story explores the weight of familial expectations, particularly for those born into privilege, as the protagonist seeks his identity amidst these pressures. His coming-of-age journey is marked by internal conflict over his future and the role of his noble lineage. The emergence of new relationships, notably with an intriguing woman, serves as a catalyst for self-discovery and emotional development. At the core of the narrative is the tension between the pull of family duty and the allure of personal freedom, set against the backdrop of a society in flux. As the protagonist contemplates love and his place in the world, the story reflects broader questions about individual agency, societal expectations, and the evolving nature of identity in a rapidly changing society.
