The Sinner (1907)

The Sinner is a novel written by Italian author Antonio Fogazzaro in 1907. The story revolves around the protagonist, Andrea Sperelli, a wealthy and handsome aristocrat who is torn between his love for two women - Elena Muti and Maria Ferres. Andrea's inner turmoil is further complicated by his struggle with his own morality and faith, as he grapples with the Catholic Church's teachings on sin, redemption, and salvation. The novel explores themes of love, desire, morality, religion, and the class divide in early 20th century Italy. Fogazzaro's vivid descriptions of the Italian countryside and his nuanced portrayal of Andrea's psyche make The Sinner a timeless classic of Italian literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
