520 _a"Espasmo" by Federico De Roberto is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a Swiss setting and revolves around intense human passions, particularly a dramatic incident involving the tragic love affair of the Condesa d'Arda and the revolutionary Prince Alejo Zakunine. The narrative contrasts themes of political duty against the backdrop of overwhelming emotional turmoil. At the start of the novel, we witness a shocking event on the shores of Lake Geneva in 1894—a woman, the Condesa, lies dead from a gunshot wound in her villa, with her lover, Prince Zakunine, in a state of despair over her unexpected death. The scene evokes strong curiosity among onlookers, and as the authorities arrive, questions arise around the circumstances leading to her demise. Various characters, including a baroness and other witnesses, speculate on motives and emotions, hinting at deeper feelings of jealousy and betrayal. This preliminary investigation sets a tense and suspenseful tone for the unfolding drama, exploring themes of love, loss, and the weight of one’s responsibilities.
