| Summary |
"L'arte di prender marito" by Paolo Mantegazza is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative explores themes of love, marriage, and the transformation from girlhood to womanhood, prominently featuring a character named Emma, who grapples with her emerging identity and feelings amidst societal expectations of marriage. The opening of the book introduces us to Emma on the morning she bids farewell to her cousin, who is about to leave for a long trip. It captures her transition as she witnesses a passionate display of affection between the newlyweds, triggering her own awakening to romantic feelings. As Emma reflects on her own burgeoning emotions, she contemplates the complexity of love and marriage, which become central themes in her life as she navigates the challenges posed by different suitors and her own desires. This early exploration sets the stage for a deeper examination of relationships and societal norms surrounding marriage, suggesting that the art of choosing a partner is both a personal and a profound journey.
