Il flauto nel bosco

Beschreibung

Vivevano in una grotta, come la Sacra Famiglia, padre madre bambino. Solo che il padre era così infermo da non potersi muovere e il bambino idiota camminava carponi, brucava l'erba, mangiava la terra; e la madre provvedeva ai bisogni di tutti cogliendo erbe che parte servivano per cibo, parte per impiastri o beveraggi al marito. Tutto questo avveniva nell'anno che corre, sull'orlo dello strascico verde di Roma ricamato dalle greche di granito dei marciapiedi che disegnano le nuove grandi strade cittadine...

Autor

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.
