El marqués de Roccaverdina es un terrateniente hosco y rudo que vive en sus tierras, ocupado en sus negocios y ajeno al mundo que le rodea. Comparte su vida con Agripina, una bella campesina que es su criada, amante y casi su esclava. El marqués la entrega en matrimonio a un hombre de confianza, exigiéndoles a ambos que vivan en castidad. Con el tiempo, se ve atormentado por la sospecha de que los esposos han roto su promesa, y los celos lo llevan a matar al marido. A partir de este momento, la novela se centra en la lucha interna del marqués entre el remordimiento, la culpa y el miedo.
Luigi Capuana was an Italian author and journalist and one of the main exponents of Verismo. He was a contemporary of Giovanni Verga, both having been born in the province of Catania within a year of each other. He was also one of the first Italian authors influenced by the works of Émile Zola, French author and creator of naturalism. His critical theories on naturalism envisaged the ultimate fusion of the novel into a purely scientific, impersonal, case-history.
