Pereat Rochus is a novel written by Antonio Fogazzaro. The story is set in the late 19th century in Italy and follows the life of a young man named Rochus. Rochus is a devout Catholic who struggles to reconcile his faith with the changing social and political landscape of his country. He becomes involved in a political movement that seeks to bring about social justice and equality, but his involvement puts him at odds with the Catholic Church. As he navigates his way through these conflicting beliefs, Rochus also falls in love with a woman named Luisa, who shares his ideals but is not Catholic. The novel explores themes of faith, politics, love, and the struggle to find one's place in a changing world. It is considered one of Fogazzaro's most important works and a classic of Italian literature.This troubled face, this affectionate tone, softened poor Don Rocco's heart, petrified by pain and surprise. This time two real tears fell from his palpitating eyelids. His mouth, closed tight, was twisting and trembling, but still resisted. Seeing then that he answered not a word, the professor ran to the stairs and called down that the physician should be sent for.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
