Eleonora Duse

Viac o knihe

The story explores the life of Eleonora Duse, a dedicated actress who feels her existence is tied to her performances. When a poet's novel depicts an aging actress merely as a muse for a young poet, Duse faces a personal crisis. The portrayal threatens to define her legacy and reshape her self-perception, as she grapples with the fear of being reduced to a pathetic stereotype. The narrative delves into themes of identity, the impact of art on reality, and the struggle against societal expectations.
