In una Napoli calda e luminosa, in una terra che è espressione del mito romantico, si intrecciano due vicende fantastiche. Due vicende che sono avvolte in un doppio velo onirico.

Gautier ci porta nell'affascinante mondo napoletano ottocentesco dove, tra folklore, credenze, sfide e passioni, si sviluppa la difficile storia d'amore.

Dans ce recueil de romans et contes, Théophile Gautier, poète et romancier du XIXe siècle, déploie un art singulier où l’amour frôle le désespoir et où l’élan vital se heurte à la mélancolie.
