| Summary | "I Barbarò: Le lagrime del prossimo. vol. 1" by Gerolamo Rovetta is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Pompeo Barbetta, a young man of modest background who navigates life in Milan amidst his aspirations, avarice, and the harsh realities of societal hierarchy. The book delves into themes of class disparity, ambitions for wealth, and personal struggle, making it a compelling read for those interested in character-driven narratives. The opening of the novel introduces us to the foggy streets of Milan on a cold January morning. Pompeo, a young man around twenty, is depicted as somewhat idle and privileged, the only son of a cook. His complacent existence is disrupted when he witnesses the arrest of an honest jeweler, an event that catalyzes a shift in his perspective on wealth and morality. As he contemplates the societal structure that allows dishonest individuals to thrive, Pompeo grapples with new ambitions for financial success. This turmoil sets the stage for his developing character as he begins to explore various methods to acquire wealth, painting a vivid picture of a young man's struggle against the injustices he perceives in his world.
