Summary "La Sorte" by Federico De Roberto is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story appears to revolve around the lives of the aristocracy in Italy, particularly focusing on the character of the Princess of Roccasciano, as she becomes entangled in the world of gambling and social interactions. The novel seems to explore themes of fortune, luck, and the consequences of one's choices in a society where social status and wealth fluctuate dramatically. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the Princess of Roccasciano, who is deeply immersed in a game of chance, showcasing her despair over her lack of luck. Despite her friends urging her to be pragmatic, she remains captivated by the thrill of gambling, which has a significant impact on her health and social life. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that the Princess's incessant gambling leads to financial ruin, drawing in various characters such as the cavalier Fornari and Father Agatino, who add to the tension of the story as they deal with their own failures and grievances within their social circle. Overall, the opening establishes the groundwork for a rich exploration of human dynamics intertwined with the unpredictable nature of fate. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
