Jettatura, written by Théophile Gautier and published in 1857, is a captivating exploration of superstition and its profound impact on human lives. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Europe, the novel tells the story of an Italian nobleman burdened with the infamous 'evil eye'. Wherever he goes, misfortune and tragedy seem to follow, leading to a life of isolation and despair. Gautier masterfully weaves a tale that questions the nature of belief, the power of suggestion, and the elusive boundaries between reality and perception.
This edition, meticulously prepared, ensures that Gautier's elegant prose and insightful observations are preserved for contemporary readers. Albert Schinz's involvement adds further value to this classic work, making it an essential addition to any collection of French literature.
