Project Gutenberg 2012-04-06 Public domain in the USA. 325 Panzini, Alfredo 1863 1939 Il mondo è rotondo: romanzo Produced by Carlo Traverso, Claudio Paganelli, Barbara Magni, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Il mondo è rotondo: romanzo" by Alfredo Panzini is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Beatus Renatus, a somewhat melancholic and introspective character, who is depicted as navigating post-war Italy. The book explores themes such as the absurdities of human behavior, societal norms, and the impact of war on individual lives. The opening of the novel presents Beatus Renatus as he grapples with the remnants of a society still feeling the aftershocks of a recent war. On his morning walk through a southern Italian city, he encounters the unpleasant sight of a citizen spitting, which provokes his contempt and raises reflections on the behavior of people around him. Beatus, described as a distinguished inspector of schools, reflects on his past and the changes within himself and society. His thoughts introduce a complex interplay of history, morality, and the human condition, setting the tone for the social critique that permeates the narrative. As he interacts with characters like a young professor seeking happiness and the various inhabitants of the city, it becomes clear that Panzini intends to unravel the intricacies of life in post-war Italy and the search for meaning amid ongoing societal shifts.
