Una di maggio
by Calimani, Riccardo
Venice, May, late 1960s. Young Emanuel Nissim, melancholic reader and great lover of music, in a growing interplay of conflicting feelings is looking for his own vague identity. Confused and perplexed, he stews between instinctive carnal desires and ambiguous intellectual yearnings. Before him are two female figures: Giulia, bewitching and daring almost to the point of insolence, and her aristocratic aunt, Regina Jesurum Friedenberg, with all the severity and elegance of her old age, representative of that admirable Judaic-Venetian world of freedom and patriotism that made Venice great.
The portrait of the authentic humus of a city that has always been a gateway to the East appears to be the most original quality of this novel, the first written by Riccardo Calimani when he was just 26 years old, and rewritten more than half a century later.
