Sommario
Le notti degli emigrati a Londra by Ferdinando Petruccelli della Gattina is a collection of three dramatic narratives recounting the struggles of exiles from Hungary, Poland, and Italy, set against the backdrop of their respective revolutions in 1848 and 1863–64. Through the stories of Maurizio Zapolyi, Giovanni Lowanowicz, and the Marchese di Tregle, the work weaves historical events with personal tales of loss, resistance, and survival, as these emigrants share their experiences in London.
The narratives blend vivid historical detail with psychological depth, exploring themes of patriotism, betrayal, and resilience.
The epistolary and theatrical style enhances the emotional intensity, while political reflections offer insights into the era’s revolutionary movements.
