| Summary |
"Rovine" by Giovanni Faldella is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on a young boy named Pinotto who has just achieved the second highest score at his school but finds that his family's attention is entirely devoted to their sick dog, Glafir. This leads Pinotto into a tumultuous emotional struggle as he grapples with feelings of neglect and jealousy. The opening of "Rovine" sets the stage for an exploration of familial relationships and the trials of youth. As Pinotto bounces home with excitement to share his academic achievement, he is met not with congratulations, but with a somber atmosphere caused by the dog’s illness. His attempts to share his news are met with indifference, deepening his feelings of isolation and rivalry with Glafir for his mother's affection. This initial scene paints a vivid picture of Pinotto's internal conflict and sets the tone for his journey through adolescence, characterized by mischief and the unfolding drama of seeking recognition and connection within his family.
