Description

A delicate and darkly comic tale of infatuation, A Love Affair is a story of desire and obsession. Antonio Dorigo, a successful architect nearing fifty, is torn apart by his fixation on an enigmatic young woman, Laide. Despite her ambiguous nature, Laide's presence in his life is both captivating and confounding, leading Antonio down a path of helpless and hopeless love. As Antonio becomes increasingly entwined with Laide, he finds himself questioning the true nature of their relationship. Is it a love story, or is it something else entirely? With its psychological subtleties, vivid cityscapes, and unsettling comedy, Buzzati's novel keeps the reader guessing until the very end. This is a thought-provoking and deeply human exploration of the complexities of love and desire, written with compassion and nuance by a master of Italian literature.
