After The Pardon (Part Ii)

Beschreibung

A rippling breath of Neapolitan streets, a turning point in Italian realism, After The Pardon (Part II) speaks with urgent clarity to today's readers. This is more than a novel; it is a lucid voyage into the heart of urban italian life at the cusp of the 20th century. With a neorealist european sensibility and the quiet precision of a classic italian literature, Matilde Serao captures forgiveness and justice in human scale-where social reform themes mingle with intimate choice, and individuals contend with fate within a moulding city. The text rewards both general readers and literature students, inviting them to encounter a vivid neapolitan setting and the moral texture of a nation negotiating change. Historically significant as a landmark in Italian realism, it illuminates the pressures and aspirations of turn of the century italy, while offering a humane, accessible doorway into a pivotal literary tradition. This edition is not merely a reprint; it is a restored cultural treasure, crafted for today's readers and future generations. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it anchors a complete classic collection with renewed voice and care. More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure that honours its place in European literary heritage.

Autor

Matilde Serao, born on March 7, 1856, in Patras, Greece, was a pioneering Italian journalist and novelist. She became the first woman to edit an Italian newspaper, Il Corriere di Roma, and later Il Giorno. Serao's contributions to Italian journalism extended further when she co-founded and served as the editor of the prominent newspaper Mattino. Her work as a journalist complemented her successful career as a novelist, and she wrote numerous books throughout her life. Serao married Edoardo Scarfoglio in 1885, and they had two children, Antonio and Paolo Scarfoglio. Her personal life, particularly her marriage, influenced much of her literary work, which often explored themes of love, jealousy, and human emotions within the constraints of society. She passed away on July 25, 1927, at the age of 71 in Naples, Italy. Serao s literary and journalistic achievements left a lasting impact on Italian culture, particularly in the realm of journalism where she broke barriers for women.
