Al Haines "Cobra" by Martin Brown and Russell Holman is a novelization of a famous stage success, likely written in the early 20th century. This story unfolds in the enchanting scenery of Southern Italy, where themes of love, jealousy, and societal expectation are interwoven. The main characters include the charming Count Rodrigo Torriani and the spirited Rosa Minardi, hinting at a romantic entanglement that promises both passion and conflict. The opening of "Cobra" captures a vivid scene at the Café Del Mare, where various patrons, including the American John Dorning and the Italian aristocrat Count Rodrigo, become embroiled in an unexpected confrontation. As tensions rise, particularly involving Rosa's overbearing father Victor Minardi, who accuses Dorning of having injured his daughter emotionally, the narrative sets the stage for a complex relationship between the characters. The interplay of class and desire is highlighted, introducing Rodrigo's carefree lifestyle juxtaposed with the budding feelings and tumultuous connections with Rosa. This chaotic atmosphere at the café foreshadows the conflicts and dramatic stakes that will drive the plot forward.
