Dal vero by Matilde Serao
"Dal vero" by Matilde Serao is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story begins with observational reflections on human experiences, particularly the beauty and innocence of childhood. The main character appears to be a boy known for his striking features and playful demeanor, which sparks discussions about aesthetics and the innocence of youth while contrasting with the burdens that adulthood eventually brings. At the start of the narrative, theopening portions illustrate a theatrical setting where the narrator feels disillusioned by a lackluster play, choosing instead to observe a beautiful blonde boy in the audience. The boy's vibrant presence captivates the narrator, leading to contemplative musings on beauty and childhood innocence. As the narrative unfolds, a doctor and the narrator engage in a philosophical debate about beauty, youth, and the inevitability of adult experiences, indicating deeper themes of lost innocence and the harsh realities of life that shape one’s perceptions over time. This reflective tone pairs with poetic descriptions, setting a thoughtful mood as the characters grapple with profound ideas amidst their surroundings. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
