Description
A new English translation of Gabriele D'Annunzio's psychological novel L'Innocente (1892) is now available. This masterpiece explores the complexities of human emotions and moral dilemmas through the story of Tullio Hermil, whose twisted emotions and moral ambiguity lead to a descent into madness. The novel delves into the interplay between religious faith and sensual pleasure, patriarchal authority and the pursuit of redemption in a morally ambiguous world. D'Annunzio's lyrical prose is preserved in this translation, which also updates previously censored content for modern readers. A valuable contribution to comparative literature, Italian studies, fin-de-siècle studies, and medical humanities, L'Innocente features an informative introduction by Michael J. Subialka.
