E se la storia d’amore più romantica di sempre fosse tutta una menzogna? La prima volta che Romeo la vede, se ne innamora all’istante. Lei, che si chiama Rosalina Capuleti e che, destinata al convento, deve conoscere l’amore, combattere la sorte decisa da altri. Ma quando lui le chiede di mentire, rubare, tradire, nel cuore della passione si insinua il dubbio: e se Romeo Montecchi non fosse chi dice di essere? Qualcuno ha cercato di aprirle gli occhi ma lei, prima, era incapace di vedere. Intanto Romeo, dimenticate in un istante le promesse fatte, ha già posato lo sguardo su un’altra Capuleti.

Once upon a time a young couple met and fell in love. You probably know that story, and how it ended (hint: badly). Only here’s the thing: That’s not how it ended at all.

It’s not easy to keep your taste for romance with parents like mine. Picture it—constant monologues, passionate declarations, fighting, making up, making out … it’s exhausting.

In Romeo und Julia auf dem Dorfe (1875) aus Kellers Zyklus Die Leute von Seldwyla versetzt Keller Shakespeares Tragödie in eine idyllisch-beschauliche Bergwelt – nur um die Härte gesellschaftlicher Zwänge und das Schicksal seiner Figuren umso tragischer hervortreten zu lassen.
