Summary "La bufera" by Edoardo Calandra is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set against the backdrop of a historical period transitioning from the aristocratic past to the significant social changes brought about by revolutions. It follows the lives of the aristocratic characters such as Countess Polissena and Cavalier Telemaco Mazel, exploring themes of love, social stratification, and the impact of changing times. The opening of "La bufera" introduces a vivid setting in Torino, depicting the nobility of the time through the lives of its characters. The narrative begins with the arrival of various guests at the estate of Robelletta, bringing attention to the social dynamics and obligations of aristocratic life. Cavalier Mazel's feelings towards the beautiful Countess Polissena are significantly emphasized, alongside his disdain for her son, Massimo Claris, highlighting conflicts of affection and loyalty. As the story unfolds, Mazel's aspirations and worries are juxtaposed with the broader societal changes that are hinted at through historical references, setting the stage for the intrigues that lie ahead.
