This contemporary fiction work is the Italian edition of Die Frau ohne Schatten (The Woman Without a Shadow), a symbolic drama written by Hugo von Hofmannsthal. Originally conceived as a libretto for Richard Strauss’s opera, the text blends myth, allegory, and psychological depth. The 1976 Guanda edition presents the Italian translation with literary value independent of its musical setting. Exploring themes of identity, fertility, and sacrifice, the narrative interweaves magical and real dimensions. It remains significant in studies of German literature, symbolism, and opera libretti as literary texts.
