"Zanoni" by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, published in 1842, is a unique blend of fantasy, romance, and philosophy. It revolves around Zanoni, an enigmatic and immortal being with profound understanding of the natural and spiritual realms. His eternal life contrasts with the experiences of love and vulnerability he encounters upon falling for Viola Pisani, a young opera singer. The novel juxtaposes Zanoni's approach to life with Mejnour, another immortal who chooses emotional detachment. Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous French Revolution, "Zanoni" delves into themes of love, sacrifice, and the interplay between the material and spiritual, culminating in a tragic climax. Through poetic language, Bulwer-Lytton weaves a narrative that probes deep philosophical questions about life, knowledge, and the essence of humanity.
