Summary:
Adapted from a 1909 novel by Jack London, yet set in a provocatively unspecified moment in Italy's history, this is a passionate and enthralling story in the tradition of great Italian classics. Martin is a self-taught proletarian with artistic aspirations who hopes that his dreams of becoming a writer will help him rise above his station and marry a wealthy university student. His dissatisfaction with working-class toil and bourgeois success lead to a political awakening and destructive anxiety in this bildungsroman.
