Ruffino, Etc. is a novel written by Ouida and published in 1891. The story is set in Italy and follows the life of a young boy named Ruffino who is born into poverty. Despite his difficult circumstances, Ruffino has a kind heart and a love for animals. He is taken under the wing of a wealthy woman named Madame Delfina who sees potential in him and takes him into her home. Madame Delfina becomes a mother figure to Ruffino and provides him with an education and opportunities that he would never have had otherwise. As Ruffino grows older, he becomes involved in the political turmoil of Italy and becomes a revolutionary. He falls in love with a young woman named Bianca who shares his passion for justice and equality. However, their love is tested when Ruffino must choose between his loyalty to the cause and his love for Bianca. Throughout the novel, Ouida explores themes of social class, love, and revolution. She paints a vivid picture of life in Italy during the late 19th century and creates complex characters that readers will root for and sympathize with. Ruffino, Etc. is a timeless tale of hope, love, and the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
