Don Orsino is a novel written by F. Marion Crawford, first published in 1892. The story takes place in Italy, specifically in Rome and the surrounding countryside, and follows the life of the titular character, Don Orsino Saracinesca. Don Orsino is a young aristocrat who is deeply in love with his cousin, Donna Maria, but is unable to marry her due to family obligations and societal expectations. The novel explores themes of love, duty, and tradition, as Don Orsino struggles to reconcile his desires with his responsibilities. Along the way, he encounters a cast of colorful characters, including his friend and confidant, the American artist Jack Dysart, and the mysterious and alluring Princess Sant' Ilario. As the story unfolds, Don Orsino is forced to confront the realities of his situation and make difficult choices about his future. Will he follow his heart and pursue his love for Donna Maria, or will he sacrifice his own happiness for the sake of his family's honor and reputation? Filled with vivid descriptions of Italian culture and society, Don Orsino is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that explores the complexities of human relationships and the challenges of navigating the expectations of others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
