"La falce - Punizione - L'enigma" by Edoardo Calandra is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book unfolds around the character Roberto Duc, who returns to his family's estate after years away, beginning a journey of self-reflection and reconnection with his roots. The narrative hints at themes of transformation and the contrast between city life and the serenity of the countryside. The opening of the novel introduces us toRoberto Duc as he interacts with Rocco Fea, a tenant farmer, upon his arrival at his family's estate called Fortino. As they discuss local affairs and personal matters, we learn about Roberto's discontent with his life in the city, leading to his impulsive decision to come back to the countryside. There is vivid imagery describing the decay of the estate and the surrounding landscape, setting the tone for Roberto's internal struggle as he seeks a new direction in life amid memories and realizations of his past.
