Marianna Sirca

by Grazia Deledda

Overview

Marianna Sirca, orfana di madre, ancora bambina viene mandata dal padre a servizio da un ricco zio prete. Alla morte di questi, Marianna riceve una cospicua eredità. Così, quasi trentenne, si ritrova con alle spalle una giovinezza spenta ma con la possibilità di pianificare il suo futuro. Perciò dà corso al suo amore da tempo represso: in un giorno di giugno rincontra un giovane, suo ex servo che ora è diventato bandito, Simone Sole. Nasce una grande passione. Marianna sceglie di amare senza calcolo e decide di sposare il bandito. Ma ben presto intervengono le ineludibili convenzioni sociali che richiedono il sacrificio del sogno. In questa edizione il testo è stato interamente controllato e prudentemente normalizzato nella forma.
