«Senso: Carnet secret de la comtesse Livia» is the novel by Camillo Boito, published by Actes Sud in paperback (64 pages, in French).
Countess Livia writes in her private notebook the memory of the Austrian lieutenant Remigio, whom she met in Venice on her honeymoon and who awakened in her an overwhelming passion. From a distant tone, she confesses that jealousy and a thirst for revenge led her to ruin her lover, with the war between Italy and Austria as a backdrop.
With a translation by Jacques Parsi, the novel by Camillo Boito was originally published in 1883 as «Senso» and inspired the film of the same name by Luchino Visconti (1953).
For readers interested in nineteenth-century Italian classics and in Visconti's film version.
