| Summary | "Gli Idioti = The Idiots" by Joseph Conrad is a fictional work written in the early 20th century. The narrative explores themes of human nature, societal perceptions of disability, and the intricate relationships between individuals within a rural community. The setting offers a glimpse into the lives of various characters, specifically focusing on the implications of interacting with those labeled as "idiots." The opening of the novel introduces us to a journey along a road from Tréguier to Kervanda, where the main character observes individuals who are socially marginalized due to their disabilities. As the carriage travels, the driver draws attention to the so-called "idiots," revealing their existence and the societal indifference towards them. The protagonist reflects on their lives, pondering the concept of humanity and the weight of existence marked by tragedy and obscurity. The depiction is rich with vivid imagery of the landscape and the haunting presence of these individuals, setting the tone for a deeper examination of human character and societal norms throughout the story.
