Title Vittoria — Volume 5
Credits This etext was produced by David Widger
Summary "Vittoria — Volume 5" by George Meredith is a fictional novel likely written during the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in a politically charged atmosphere, focusing on the intense and personal conflicts surrounding the central character, Vittoria, as she navigates her tumultuous circumstances involving love, honor, and the repercussions of violent encounters, particularly surrounding her relationship with the fugitive Angelo Guidascarpi. At the start of this volume, we witness Captain Weisspriess actively pursuing Vittoria, convinced that she seeks refuge with Angelo Guidascarpi amid their tumultuous escape. As he rouses the gendarmerie and strategizes to capture them, the complex dynamics of power, vanity, and desire become apparent. The opening also introduces the duel between Weisspriess and Angelo, a pivotal confrontation that signifies not just a personal vendetta but also broader themes of justice and loyalty. As tensions rise, Vittoria's strength and resilience shine through, even as she is drawn deeper into the fray, ultimately culminating in a harrowing moment where freedom, betrayal, and love intersect.
