| Summary | "Rienzi: Rooman viimeinen tribuuni" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds during the turbulent 14th century in Rome, revolving around Cola di Rienzi, a passionate and ambitious young man who seeks to restore the glory of Rome while grappling with the oppressive power dynamics of his time. This novel explores themes of ambition, family ties, and the struggles between the ruling elite and the common people, setting the stage for a compelling narrative about political intrigue and personal sacrifice. The opening of the book introduces us to two young brothers, Cola and his younger sibling, who share a close bond despite their humble beginnings. As they walk along the banks of the Tiber River, Cola expresses his dreams for the future, filled with aspirations of greatness and the burden of their lineage. However, their moment of tranquility is abruptly shattered when the younger brother is captured by a ruthless group of Orsini soldiers. In a sudden and tragic turn of events, Cola's brother is brutally slain before his eyes, igniting Cola's desire for vengeance and transforming his idealistic dreams into a relentless pursuit of power and justice for the people of Rome. This harrowing beginning establishes the stakes for Cola di Rienzi's journey and sets the tone for the conflicts that will ensue throughout the narrative.
