L'onorevole by Achille Bizzoni
"L'onorevole" by Achille Bizzoni is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Giuliano Sicuri, a young deputy embarking on a political career while navigating the complexities of love and ambition. The opening of the novel sets the stage for a dramatic political event, hinting at broader themes of personal sacrifice, political ambition, and social dynamics within the setting of a small Italian town. The beginning of the
book introduces us to the bustling atmosphere at the train station in Miralto, where the crowd is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the direct train from Milan, carrying the newly elected deputy, Giuliano Sicuri. Amidst the celebratory uproar, his wife, Adele, feels the pang of separation as her husband prepares to embark on his political journey. The joy of the crowd sharply contrasts with Adele's sorrow and anxiety about Giuliano's new role, underlining her feelings of fear and foreboding for the changes it may bring to their lives. As the train departs, Adele clings to her emotions, and we see Giuliano grappling with his own mixed feelings about his political ambitions, setting the tone for the conflicts and choices he will face ahead.
