Explore the intricacies of Milan through Carlo Emilio Gadda's masterpiece, 'La Adalgisa'. This novel, originally conceived between 1932 and 1936, epitomizes Gadda's literary brilliance. Delve into a vivid depiction of society, woven with satire and tenderness. Follow the tumultuous tales of love and tragedy, particularly that of the enchanting Adalgisa. A required addition for any lover of literature and modern fiction.

Between 1932 and 1936, Carlo Emilio Gadda embarked on an ambitious project to capture a forbidden love affair set against the backdrop of Milan. Although initially intended to evolve into the novel 'Un fulmine sul 220', Gadda's dissatisfaction culminated in the brilliant compilation known as 'La Adalgisa'. With 296 pages filled with sharp wit and rich narrative, Gadda paints a vivid tableau of the era’s Milanese society, highlighting the lives of swindling bankers, naive businessmen, and the remnants of a declining aristocracy. At its heart lies the delicate figure of Adalgisa, a woman whose poignant journey from the opulence of life to the somber tasks of widowhood resonates deeply with readers. Gadda’s mastery shines through both extravagant satire and moments of heartfelt reflection, revealing a city and its people in all their chaotic beauty. This novel not only serves as a social critique but stands as a heartfelt homage to Milan itself, a place where admiration and irreverence coexist. Immerse yourself in this intricate and engaging narrative that brilliantly juxtaposes the absurd and the tender.

Usage ideas Ideal for book clubs exploring literature from different eras, perfect for those studying modern European fiction, or simply a delightful read for anyone interested in intricate storytelling. Perfect as a gift for literary enthusiasts or as a personal addition to a collection of classic novels.
