Answer:
“Salvatore” is a gripping story, presenting before the readers the portrait of a
man who is just an ordinary fisherman. As a boy of fifteen, he has a pleasant face, a
laughing mouth and carefree eyes. He possesses a brown body and is as thin as a rail. He helps his father who owns a vineyard, and also acts as nursemaid to his two younger brothers. When he grows up he falls madly in love with a pretty girl who lives on the Grande Marina. They are engaged but they can’t marry till Salvatore has done his military service. It is with a heavy heart that he parts from his fiancee to become a sailor in the navy. He is sent here and there and in the process, when he is in China, he falls ill of some mysterious ailment. This illness makes him unfit for further service and he is allowed to go home.
When he comes home his fiancee refuses to marry him. He is terribly unhappy but he
does not blame the girl. Herein we find the beauty of his character. He smiles though
sadly but does not utter even a harsh word of the girl whom he loved so much.
When Salvatore has settled down to work in his father’s vineyard and fishing, his mother advises him to marry a girl who lives in the village. Although the girl is older than him and quite ugly , he agrees to marry her. They get married and settle down in a small
house. Salvatore is now a great, big husky man, tall and broad. He still has the
ingenuous smile and those trusting kindly eyes that he had as a boy. He has the most
beautiful manners. This beauty of his inner world endears him to the readers. In spite of his rheumatism, he works very hard. All through the fishing season, he goes in his boat to fishing grounds and catches profitable cuttlefish. At other times he works in his vineyard. Never does he complain of his ill health. He always has a pleasant word for everyone notwithstanding the pain and racked his limbs.
Salvatore remains happy in the company of his sons. Sometimes he brings them with
him to give them a dip in the water. He bathes his sons, holding them tenderly and then dries them with a delicate care as if they were delicate flowers. Sometimes Salvatore would seat the naked baby on the palm of his hand and hold him up laughing a little at his smallness and his laugh was like the laughter of an angel.
Salvatore , just an ordinary fisherman, possesses in abundance the beauty of the inner world. It is the rarest and the most precious quality. It shines in him with a radiance. This quality is goodness, just goodness.
