Summary
|
"Rikostoverit y.m. novelleja" by Adolf Stern is a collection of novellas written in the early 20th century. This work likely delves into themes of crime and morality, featuring characters embroiled in dire circumstances, including gondola rowers in Venice who grapple with their conscience amidst a plague and the consequences of their actions. At the start of the collection, the narrative introduces a dark, atmospheric Venice during the plague of 1630, establishing a sense of foreboding. The story focuses on a gondolier named Daniello Barozzi, who faces a moral dilemma as he reflects on his past actions as an executioner for the state. He grapples with the haunting memory of a man named Orlando Cornaro, whom he and his companion Andrea had condemned to death, and the weight of their choices bears heavily on him. As he navigates through the grim streets, Daniello encounters his dying friend Andrea, who challenges him to seek redemption for their past crimes, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of guilt, justice, and the desire for atonement.
