Summary "La straniera: Novelle e teatro" by Edoardo Calandra is a historical collection of stories written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of love, conflict, and the human condition through the lens of historical figures and events, focusing specifically on characters in the Piedmont region of Italy. The opening of the novella sets the stage during the reign of a nobleman named Pagano "lo Casto" in the picturesque region of Auriate, showcasing his character as a valiant yet impulsive lord. After a dramatic encounter in which he defeats a mysterious knight in battle, Pagano captures a beautiful lady, known only as "the stranger." As he becomes infatuated with her, the narrative delves into his conflicting emotions and the consequences of his actions, hinting at themes of desire, honor, and fate. The interplay of love, strife, and the supernatural begins to unfold, suggesting a complex interplay of character motivations and societal expectations as the story progresses.
