Title: The robbers' cave : A tale of Italy
Original Publication: Chicago: The Bible Colportage Association, 1899.
Summary: "The Robbers' Cave: A Tale of Italy" by A. L. O. E. is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of Calabria, Italy, it explores the story of Horace Cleveland and his mother, who find themselves embroiled in a perilous adventure as they travel through this wild region. The narrative hints at themes of class disparity, personal growth, and the dangers posed by banditti, centered around the clashes between Horace’s youthful arrogance and the serious threats from those around him. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to Horace and his mother, who are on a journey to Calabria largely driven by Horace's desire for adventure despite his mother's ill health and complaints about their surroundings. The interactions between them set a tone of tension, particularly highlighting Horace's haughty demeanor and his mother's protective instincts. As they stop at a shabby inn, they encounter local characters, including a mysterious singer named Raphael and hints of the bandit Matteo. The opening establishes a sense of foreboding as Horace’s prideful actions lead them into danger, ultimately paving the way for a story filled with suspense, moral dilemmas, and the struggle for survival amid lawlessness.
