"The Tartar Steppe"("Il deserto dei Tartari", 1940) by Dino Buzzati is a philosophical novel about duty, isolation, and the passage of time. It follows Giovanni Drogo, a young officer assigned to the remote Bastiani Fortress, where soldiers endlessly wait for an enemy invasion that may never come. As years pass, Drogo becomes trapped in a life of routine and unfulfilled expectations, symbolizing the quiet tragedy of wasted potential and existential longing. The novel blends elements of existentialism, allegory, and surrealism, making it a haunting meditation on fate and human ambition.
