| Summary |
"Una notte bizzarra" by Anton Giulio Barrili is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in an elegant setting in Genoa, where the protagonist, Roberto Fenoglio, an unmarried lawyer, grapples with his boredom and unfulfilled desires, leading to a series of unexpected romantic developments. As the tale progresses, the characters encounter love, mischief, and the intriguing unpredictability of life. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Roberto, who is hosting a lively party when he confides in his friend Felice Magnasco about his profound ennui despite his seemingly privileged life. As they converse, Felice encourages Roberto to embrace spontaneity and leave his comfort zone. Just as the night progresses, an unexpected twist occurs: a mysterious woman, fleeing from pursuers, accidentally enters Roberto's home, leading to an intertwining of their fates. This chance encounter sets off a chain of events that challenges perceptions of love and companionship, promising a delightful mix of humor and serendipity.
