Produktbeschreibung

Dopo la morte della vecchia donn'Anna, sistemati gli affari, Paolo Velèna prese con sè la piccola nipote e, com'era stabilito, la condusse ad Orolà, presso la sua famiglia. Orolà è una piccola sotto-prefettura sarda, nella provincia di Sassari. Città fiorentissima sotto i Romani, decaduta poi per le scorrerie dei Saraceni, risorse sotto il dominio dei Barisone, giudici o re di Torres, e si mantenne forte sino all'abolizione dei feudi in Sardegna, avvenuta nella prima metà di questo secolo. Nel censimento delle popolazioni sarde, fatto da Arrius, illustre ploaghese che visitò le 42 città dell'isola ai tempi del console Marco Tullio Cicerone (116-43 a.

Autorenporträt

Deledda was born in Nuoro, Sardinia, into a middle-class family, to Giovanni Antonio Deledda and Francesca Cambosu, as the fourth of seven siblings. She attended elementary school (the minimum required at the time) and was then educated by a private tutor (a guest of one of her relatives) and moved on to study literature on her own. It was during this time that she started displaying an interest in writing short novels, mostly inspired by the life of Sardinian peasants and their struggles. Her teacher encouraged her to submit her writing to a newspaper and, at age 13, her first story was published in a local journal. Some of Deledda's early works were published in the fashion magazine L'ultima moda between 1888 and 1889. In 1890 Trevisani published Nell'azzurro (Into the Blue), her first collection of short stories. Deledda's main focus was the representation of poverty and the struggles associated with it through a combination of imaginary and autobiographical elements. Her family wasn't particularly supportive of her desire to write.
