Nov 15– From I Promessi Sposi (The Betrothed) by Allessandro Manzoni (1827)
Summary: Price gouging! Society in chaos! Dogs and cats living together!
Commentary: At one point, selections from this were coming up every week or two, and it felt like I could mostly follow the plot. I've forgotten like ninety percent of it now. There's a good couple and an evil rich noble who wants the girl, I think.
I have no idea what this section has to do with the rest of the story, which is a romance/drama. This is an account of a historical event. There's not even any named characters in the first two thirdsish. Greedy people suck.
