The Story of a Lark: Prisoner of the Black Cloak
A literary work that brilliantly captures the tragedy of pure souls confined behind the walls of custom and superstition. Using a beautiful analogy between a captive girl and a caged lark, Giovanni Verga paints scenes charged with loneliness and longing for freedom. The novel pulsates with a keen sensitivity toward the fragility of human beings when deprived of their natural right to life. The letters exchanged between the characters transport you to a world immersed in both light and shadow. Through a delicate and faithful translation, the text is rendered into Arabic without losing its freshness or emotional authenticity.
