Produktbeschreibung
The Saint by Antonio Fogazzaro is a novel that explores themes of spiritual redemption, love, guilt, and the tension between personal desires and religious duty. The story follows Piero Maironi, a man who, after a troubled past marked by love and remorse, has transformed into a figure of holiness through years of prayer, asceticism, and self-reflection. His journey of inner transformation is contrasted with the emotional struggles of Jeanne Dessalle, a woman from his past, who still grapples with unfulfilled love and uncertainty. The novel delves into the complexity of faith and the conflict between worldly desires and spiritual calling, especially as Piero, once a passionate lover and artist, now lives as a devoted monk. The opening scenes introduce Jeanne, who, while at a villa by the Lac d'Amour, reflects on her life and lost love, setting the stage for the exploration of duality in their lives. Through their intertwined stories, the novel confronts the characters' inner battles with faith, societal expectations, and the search for redemption. The Saint is a poignant meditation on the human struggle between earthly passion and the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment, where love and duty often collide.

Autorenporträt
Antonio Fogazzaro was an Italian poet and novelist born on March 25, 1842, in Vicenza, which was then part of Lombardy-Venetia in Austria-Hungary. He died on March 7, 1911, in Vicenza, which by that time was part of the Kingdom of Italy. Fogazzaro is best known for his works exploring themes of spirituality, personal conflict, and the tension between faith and reason. His most notable works include The Little World of the Past (1895) and The Saint, a novel that delves into the inner struggles of a man seeking redemption through spiritual devotion. Fogazzaro's literary career was marked by a deep engagement with the issues of his time, particularly the conflict between Catholicism and modernity. His writing often reflected his own spiritual journey, and he became an influential figure in the late 19th-century Italian literary scene. He was well-regarded for his philosophical approach to narrative, exploring the complexities of human emotions and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. Through his works, Fogazzaro contributed significantly to the Italian literary tradition, blending elements of realism and psychological depth with spiritual and moral inquiry.
