The book revolves around the life of Marco Antonio Abate, a professor of philosophy who reflects on his existence filled with personal losses and the struggles associated with love, family, and societal expectations. As he navigates the complexities of his life and relationships, including the estrangement from his daughter Serafina, the narrative explores themes of egoism, disappointment, and the desire for connection. The opening of the story introduces Marco Antonio as he contemplates his solitary life, reminiscing about his deceased wife Faustina and reflecting on his current circumstances. Despite being a thoughtful and somewhat melancholic character, he humorously critiques both himself and society, all while demonstrating an underlying yearning for companionship. As the narrative unfolds, readers witness his interactions with various characters — from a street philosopher to his housekeeper Anna Maria — revealing his philosophical musings, social observations, and the poignant regrets stemming from his familial relationships. Abate’s quest for happiness and his eventual decision to search for a new wife sets the stage for a story marked by introspection and the pursuit of human connections amidst isolation.
