| Summary |
"Die große Gauklerin: Ein Roman aus Venedig" by Carry Brachvogel is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story primarily revolves around Ettore Priuli, a charming Venetian aristocrat facing the emotional turmoil of love and societal expectations. It explores themes of identity, wealth, and the constraint of tradition within the beautifully depicted backdrop of Venice. The opening of the narrative introduces Ettore Priuli as he descends the stairs of the elegant Hotel Danieli, feeling both humiliated and frustrated after a failed romantic encounter. While he struggles to maintain his composed demeanor, his thoughts reveal a deeper conflict regarding his aspirations for wealth and status through marriage. As he reflects on his frustration with the limitations of Venetian society and his infatuation with the wealthy Miss Beaufort, he grapples with the harsh reality of lost prospects. Ultimately, he must devise a way to salvage his honor in front of his peers, setting the stage for personal and societal entanglements that will unfold throughout the story.
