| Summary | "La vita operosa: Nuovi racconti d'avventure" by Massimo Bontempelli is a collection of stories written in the early 20th century. The narrative explores the themes of post-war life and existential contemplation in urban settings, primarily focusing on Milan. The central character seems to be a soldier recently returned from war, attempting to navigate the disorientation and challenges of civilian life. The opening of the collection introduces the reader to the protagonist's experiences as he grapples with the transition from military life to the vibrant chaos of Milan. He reflects on his studies at a military academy and the poignant lessons of orientation in life, both literally and metaphorically. The chapter depicts vivid scenes of the city, emphasizing the allure of its social life, including interactions with women and the pursuit of wealth. This initial segment sets the stage for a deeper exploration of personal identity and societal roles in the aftermath of war, illuminating the struggle between desires and the moral complexities of contemporary living.
