Vittoria is a novel written by George Meredith and published in 1867. The story is set in Italy during the mid-19th century and follows the life of the titular character, Vittoria, a beautiful and headstrong young woman who becomes embroiled in a complex web of political and personal intrigue.Vittoria is the daughter of an Italian patriot who is fighting for the unification of Italy. She is fiercely independent and determined to live life on her own terms, even if it means going against the expectations of society. When she falls in love with a young Englishman named Wilfrid, she is forced to confront the reality of their vastly different backgrounds and the political tensions that threaten to tear them apart.As Vittoria becomes increasingly involved in her father's political activities, she finds herself at the center of a dangerous game of power and betrayal. She must navigate the treacherous waters of Italian politics while also struggling to maintain her own sense of self and independence.Throughout the novel, Meredith explores themes of love, loyalty, and the struggle for freedom and self-determination. His vivid descriptions of the Italian landscape and culture add depth and richness to the story, while his complex characters and intricate plot keep readers engaged from beginning to end.Overall, Vittoria is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into the tumultuous world of 19th-century Italy.Count Serabiglione would work himself up in the climax of denunciation, and then look abroad frankly as one whose spirit had been relieved. He hated bad men; and it was besides necessary for him to denounce somebody, and get relief of some kind. Italians edged away from him. He was beginning to feel that he had no country. The detested title 'Young Italy' hurried him into fits of wrath. 'I am, ' he said, 'one of the Old Italians, if a distinction is to be made.'This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
