First Edition
Encuadernación de tapa dura. Condition: Aceptable. 1ª Edición. DESLUCIDO / MANCHAS DE HUMEDAD Una obra literaria cuyo escenario se caracteriza por su dramatismo y embrujo. El fondo es la bella Italia y dos familias: una educada en los cánones de la moralidad y la religiosidad, y otra que rompe los esquemas de la época. Nuestra protagonista vivirá ambas vidas. La protagonista es Maddalena, una mujer virtuosa, recatada, según los cánones de la época. Su padre, un noble empobrecido, busca desesperadamente un yerno rico para su hija, y lo encuentra en Giuseppe Labardi, un joven alegre, impetuoso que al no lograr satisfacer la pasión que ha despertado en él su mujer, decide imponerse por la fuerza. Ante eso Maddalena huye en la oscuridad de la noche. Nino, un apuesto gitano de tez aceitunada y hermosos ojos, encuentra en la escalinata de una iglesia una mujer empapada por la lluvia y con su traje hecho jirones, que no responde a ningún nombre. Ante eso, Nino la arropa en sus brazos y la lleva a su guarida de ladrones donde vive con su madre y hermanos. Allí Nino la llamará Rosanna y la convertirá en una ladrona que hará suya la brillante y moderna Florencia.
