Summary: "Spasimo" by Federico De Roberto is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book delves into a tragic incident involving the death of the countess d'Arda, discovered at her villa beside Lake Geneva, and explores the complex emotions of the people connected to her, especially the prince Alessio Zakunine, who is deeply affected by her demise. The narrative seems to intertwine themes of love, despair, and existential questioning, as well as incorporating a murder investigation element. The opening of "Spasimo" introduces the reader to the scene where the countess is found dead at her villa, apparently from a gunshot wound. This shocking event occurs before a backdrop of intrigue among those present, including her lover, the prince Zakunine, who is portrayed as distraught and fearful. The initial moments are filled with chaotic emotion as onlookers and servants try to understand what has happened, while conversations hint at past grievances and the nature of the relationships between the characters. The arrival of law enforcement further escalates the tension, suggesting an exploration of culpability as suspicions arise, especially concerning the prince and a mysterious young woman present.
