| Summary | "Muratti: Romaani" by Grazia Deledda is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the village of Barunéin, focusing on the Decherchi family, particularly around themes of familial ties, honor, and the hardships stemming from economic decline, all set against the backdrop of traditional Sardinian life. Key characters introduced include don Simone Decherchi, an aging nobleman, his troubled nephew Paulu, and Annesa, an adopted daughter whose loyalty and love become central to the unfolding drama. The opening of the novel sets the stage on a Saturday evening, coinciding with the festival of Saint Basil, as two old men, don Simone and Cosimu Damianu, engage in conversation about the mysterious disappearance of Paulu, the latter's son. The atmosphere is thick with tension and suspicion, as rumors swirl regarding familial discord and the boy's fate. The scene introduces us to other residents of the household, including the sickly old man Zua and the maid Annesa, hinting at deeper family secrets and the economic decay that threatens their way of life. The dialogue depicts a world filled with superstition and moral struggles, foreshadowing the conflicts that will arise as Paulu navigates his responsibilities and relationships amid their diminishing fortunes.
