Summary | "The Day of Temptation" by William Le Queux is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a mysterious and dangerous situation involving the titular character, Vittorina, whose impending arrival in England raises alarms among two men, Arnoldo Romanelli and Doctor Filippo Malvano. They fear that her presence could jeopardize their hidden secrets, suggesting a backdrop of treachery and intrigue. The opening of the novel introduces a tense conversation between Romanelli and Malvano as they discuss the imminent arrival of Vittorina in London. Romanelli, an Italian, is anxious about her coming, fearing it may expose their hidden past and lead to dire consequences. Malvano, the older, self-assured doctor, agrees but seems more comfortable in his surroundings, having established himself quietly in a rural English community. As the scene unfolds, it is clear that both men harbor dark secrets, and the conversation hints at a mysterious event from their past that they wish to keep concealed from Vittorina. This setup piques interest in the reader, suggesting a narrative filled with suspense and intrigue as the plot develops. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
