| Summary | "Les fous du docteur Miraglia" by Alexandre Dumas is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative seems to center on Jacopo Ortis, a character who grapples with despair, loss, and the ennui of life amid oppressive circumstances. The themes of love, patriotism, and the struggle against fate appear to be integral, navigating the poignant grief for one’s homeland alongside personal emotional turmoil. The opening of the story introduces us to Jacopo Ortis, who mourns the loss of his homeland, finding himself in a state of despair and chronicling his thoughts in letters to a friend, Lorenzo. Feeling forsaken after his country's betrayal, he contemplates exile and the inexplicable pain of being disconnected from his roots. Ortis reflects on the heartbreaking reality of life as a dissident; he shares his thoughts on love and the sense of futility it brings. The early passages set the stage for a deeper exploration of Ortis's character as someone caught between the idealism of youth and the harshness of his circumstances, foreshadowing a journey defined by internal conflict and longing.
