Title : Lorenzaccio - Alfred de Musset - book

Summary :

Lorenzo de Medici, the eponymous hero, lacks neither grandeur nor complexity. A notorious debauchee and purveyor of pleasure to Alexander, the perverse tyrant who rules Florence, the young man gradually reveals another side of himself. No, he is not entirely contaminated by the surrounding evil, but he has retained a true purity deep within him, to the point of killing Alexander in the name of a personal and political ideal.
If Lorenzaccio takes place in 16th ^century Italy century, this drama nevertheless finds an echo in the political news of the years after 1830, when the power of Louis-Philippe, which had raised great hopes, hardened and harshly repressed republican initiatives. And if it is one of the most performed romantic dramas, it is because it presents the individual facing himself and society, essential and timeless problems.
