Summary: "Our Own Set: A Novel" by Ossip Schubin is a historical fiction written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set against the backdrop of Roman society in the early 1870s, focusing on the lives of the Austrian aristocracy as they navigate their relationships amidst political upheaval and societal changes. Key characters include Count Otto Ilsenbergh and his socially active wife, the countess, who host gatherings in their palazzo. The book explores themes of class, identity, and the evolving nature of social interactions in a time of turmoil. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the setting of Rome, where various members of the Austrian aristocracy gather during the winter season. The Ilsenbergh household is depicted as a hub of activity, full of dialogues that reveal the characters’ opinions about contemporary political events and personal relationships. Through this opening portion, we witness the emergence of several key figures—Count Ilsenbergh, who is preoccupied with the fate of Austria, his wife, who is observant yet sympathetic to others, and others like General von Klinger and Count Sempaly, who add depth to the social dynamics at play. A sense of both camaraderie and tension fills the atmosphere, setting the stage for intricate personal and societal dramas as the story unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
