After The Pardon (Part Iii)

Beschreibung

A taut, humane meditation on how a city's surface glow hides the ache of real lives. After The Pardon (Part III) returns readers to Matilde Serao's sharp, unsentimental gaze, where ambition, duty, and desire collide in the crowded streets of Naples and the wider fin de siCle Italy. This edition offers a concise, vivid example of classic italian literature and its urban social critique: a richly observed italian realist novel that probes moral dilemma, social constraint, and the friction between personal hope and public reality. The prose carries the electricity of a nascent modernity, moving with the rhythm of the street yet disciplined by a novelist's precise hand. It is a work that rewards patient readers and lively book clubs alike, inviting discussion about class, gender, and power in a society that still resonates with today's concerns. Historically significant as part of a broader arc of italian realist writing, Serao's work stands alongside Giovanni Verga novels in its insistence that intimate lives illuminate the whole social order. This is more than a reprint; it is a complete edition vital to any library collection, a cultural treasure restored for today's and future generations. Out of print for decades and now cherished anew, this edition makes a lasting gift to casual readers and serious collectors alike. A treasured addition to any Naples Italy shelf and a keystone for anyone exploring italian novella tradition.

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.
