Produced by Carlo Traverso, Barbara Magni, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Top" by Adolfo Albertazzi is a novella written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Prospero Marzioli, an unsociable uncle grappling with his feelings of jealousy and protectiveness over his beautiful niece, Elena, who appears to be falling in love with another man. The story delves into themes of unrequited love, familial loyalty, and the emotional turmoil of fading youth. At the start of the novella, we are introduced to Top, the uncle's dog, who unwittingly becomes a messenger when he brings a letter that hints at Elena's romantic interest. This revelation troubles Prospero deeply, leading him to reflect on his affection for Elena and the prospect of losing her to another man. He becomes increasingly distressed, revealing his conflicting emotions of jealousy and paternal care as he observes her interactions from a distance. Prospero's internal struggle sets the tone for the rest of the narrative, showcasing the complexity of human emotions intertwined with family dynamics.
