| Summary | "Il secolo che muore, vol. III" by Francesco Domenico Guerrazzi is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative takes place in a tumultuous period of societal and political upheaval in Italy, focusing on themes of corruption, politics, and the human condition. The primary characters introduced include Egeo Bernazzi, a somewhat unscrupulous politician, and Omobono Buoncompagni, who are navigating complex relationships and questionable dealings in a fractured social landscape, particularly around the reconstruction of a railway. The opening of the work presents a satirical and vivid portrayal of its characters and their immediate world, setting the stage for a drama laced with both comedy and tragedy. It begins with the narrator expressing discontent over how previous character deaths were treated, introducing Egeo, who is depicted as a flawed and opportunistic politician, and Omobono, who is entangled in shady dealings surrounding a proposed railway. The text explores a range of interactions and schemes among characters, showcasing Guerrazzi's critique of political corruption and moral ambiguity. As the story unfolds, the relationships among the characters deepen, revealing their motivations, desires, and the often comical consequences of their actions.
