In Orsinia, an imaginary nation in central Europe, during the first half of the nineteenth century, Itale Sorde, heir to the valley of Malafrena, joins a revolutionary group and moves to Krasnoy. The novel explores individual freedom, political commitment, and the search for one's own path against the historical and social backdrop.
