Summary "Galatea" by Anton Giulio Barrili is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative appears to explore themes of introspection, the complexity of human relationships, and a contrast between urban and rural life, centered around the character Rinaldo Morelli. Through his letters, Rinaldo reflects on feelings of ennui, the absurdity of social conventions, and the fleeting nature of beauty and love. The opening of the novel introduces us to Rinaldo, who has retreated to a rural setting to escape his busy life and restore his frayed nerves. As he pens a letter to his friend Filippo, he muses about the nature of existence, the human condition, and sardonic observations of society. He expresses his disillusionment with relationships, particularly romantic ones, and shares his wistful dreams of an idealized woman from his past. The narrative begins to weave a sense of place as Rinaldo describes the surrounding countryside and hints at interactions with other characters, including the spirited and vibrant signorina Wilson, who seems poised to challenge his solitude and provoke his thoughts further.
