| Summary | "Die Hochzeit des Mönchs" by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative is set in Verona and follows the intertwining fates of characters from different social backgrounds, particularly focusing on the young monk Astorre and the turbulent events surrounding a wedding that descends into tragedy. The opening of the story introduces us to a lively court gathering where the young ruler Cangrande della Scala is entertained by his guests, including the renowned poet Dante Alighieri. The atmosphere is lighthearted, filled with laughter and storytelling, but takes a contemplative turn when Dante proposes a theme related to a monk whose liberation from his vows leads him into conflict with his identity. As characters discuss the moral implications of breaking vows, they are unknowingly positioned for the unfolding tragedy. The scene shifts dramatically as a wedding party meets with disaster on the river Brenta, leading to significant transformations for the monk Astorre as he rescues a drowning bride while navigating the complexities of his past and future, setting the stage for deeper explorations of duty, love, and sacrifice.
