Summary "Eh! la vita....: Novelle" by Luigi Capuana is a collection of short stories written during the late 19th century. The book explores various aspects of life, love, and social dynamics through the lens of its characters, showcasing the intricacies of human emotions and relationships in a richly narrated style. The opening of the collection introduces readers to a poignant love story between Maria Ledda and Nino Sbrizza, set against a backdrop of jealousy and social expectations. Nino is consumed by his feelings for Maria as he grapples with the attention she receives from Saro Barreca, a rival who serenades her from below her window. As Maria and Nino secretly communicate their affections under the veil of night, tensions arise from family pressures and the societal norms surrounding them, ultimately hinting at deeper conflicts and the struggles inherent in their romance. The narrative invites readers into a world where love is both a cherished dream and a source of strife, setting the stage for the themes that will continue to unfold throughout the stories.
