| Summary |
"Fra i due mondi" by Guglielmo Ferrero is a philosophical novel written in the early 20th century. The work contemplates the contrasts and relationships between the old world of Europe and the new world of the Americas through reflective dialogues and character encounters. The book features characters like Emilio Rosetti, who embodies the intellectual pursuits and conflicts faced by individuals caught between these two civilizations. The opening of the novel introduces the author's reflections on significant moments in his life, particularly his journey between America and Europe, and sets a contemplative tone regarding the nature of civilization and human fulfillment. The protagonist is on a voyage aboard the ship "Cordova," lingering over the picturesque views of Rio de Janeiro as he prepares to leave. Through richly descriptive language, he muses on the vast differences between the vibrant life of the Americas and the antiquated, tradition-bound societies of Europe. As he observes fellow travelers and engages in animated discussions, the themes of aesthetic appreciation and cultural critique begin to unfold, foreshadowing deeper explorations into the philosophies of the two worlds.
