Summary "Racconti e novelle" by Antonio Ghislanzoni is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The work likely reflects the author's social observations and personal experiences, as well as capturing the essence of Italian life during that period. The stories may explore themes of friendship, ambition, and moral dilemmas, inviting readers into the lives and struggles of various characters. The opening of the collection introduces the story "Dietro una Valanga," where two friends, Franz and Joseph, navigate a snowy path, discussing their fortunes and past experiences in America. As their conversation unfolds, it highlights their contrasting attitudes towards wealth and responsibility. Suddenly, they are caught in a snow avalanche, leading to their entrapment in a cave. Their predicament sets the stage for a deeper exploration of their values, as Joseph resorts to opportunistic behavior to survive, while Franz grapples with moral conflicts over their situation. This tension hints at the intricacies of human nature that Ghislanzoni seeks to unravel throughout the collection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
