Summary "Tra cielo e terra: Romanzo" by Anton Giulio Barrili is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story appears to focus on the protagonist, Maurizio di Vaussana, a naval officer who resigns after feeling unjustly treated regarding promotions, leading him to return to his familial home in the mountains. The narrative seems poised to explore themes of duty, ambition, and the contrast between the sea, which he adores, and the steadfastness of his terrestrial roots. The opening of the novel introduces Maurizio on the cusp of a significant life change as he resigns from the navy in response to perceived injustices. His longing for the sea is palpable, as he reflects on its beauty and mystery while feeling the pangs of loss associated with leaving behind a world he loves. Upon returning to his family's mountain home, he seeks solace and confrontation with his past, including reconnections with family and former companions, setting the stage for themes of nostalgia, identity, and the struggle between desire and responsibility.
