Description
In 1884, Naples is struck by a cholera outbreak. Count Fabio Romani leads a tranquil life: beside him are his beloved wife Nina, their son, and a luxurious villa immersed in orange groves. But one day, during a morning walk by the harbor, he suddenly loses consciousness and falls into a coma. Assuming he has been struck by cholera, the people around him declare him dead and bury him in the family crypt of the Romani.
Fabio comes to his senses already inside the coffin. With immense difficulty he manages to get out and rushes home, hoping once again to see his family. Instead of joy and tears, he becomes a witness to Nina’s candid conversation with his friend Guido: they are not grieving at all—in fact, they are pleased with his “death,” because now nothing stands in the way of their relationship. Shattered by betrayal, Fabio disappears, deciding to pay them back for the deception.
Half a year later, a new man appears in high society— the mysterious Count Cesare Oliva, influential, charming, and drawing everyone’s attention.
The novel was originally conceived under the title “Buried Alive,” but at the publisher’s insistence it was released as “Vendetta. The Story of One Forgotten.” Because of the motives of betrayal and carefully crafted revenge, the book is often compared to “The Count of Monte Cristo.”
