Produktbeschreibung
General Gabriele D'Annunzio, Prince of Montenevoso OMS CMG MVM (12 March 1863 - 1 March 1938) was an Italian poet, playwright, orator and journalist and soldier during World War I. He occupied a prominent place in Italian literature from 1889 to 1910 and later political life from 1914 to 1924. He was often referred to under the epithets Il Vate ("the Poet") or Il Profeta ("the Prophet"). D'Annunzio was associated with the Decadent movement in his literary works, which interplayed closely with French Symbolism and British Aestheticism. Such works represented a turn against the naturalism of the preceding romantics and was both sensuous and mystical. He came under the influence of Friedrich Nietzsche which would find outlets in his literary and later political contributions.
Autorenporträt
Nato a Pescara nel 1863, compose il suo primo libro di versi "Primo Vere" a soli 16 anni. Fu uno degli interpreti più abili delle correnti di pensiero e delle mode letterarie europee, tra le quali l'esasperato sensualismo, l'estetismo raffinato e paganeggiante ("Il Piacere", 1889), la tendenza ad ignorare la realtà sociale a favore di un mondo spirituale elevato ed esclusivo. Riuscì quindi a proporsi con successo sia nel mondo letterario che in quello mondano, mettendo in atto quell'estetismo (non privo di scandali e polemiche) che il Decadentismo europeo aveva da poco concepito. Terminata la I Guerra Mondiale, il suo gusto per i grandi gesti lo portò ad occupare Fiume insieme con un gruppo di volontari. La sua attività politica, quella mondana (tra cui spicca la relazione con Eleonora Duse) e quella letteraria fecero di D'Annunzio una sorta di "maestro di costume". Morì nel 1938 nella sua villa di Gardone Riviera, sul lago di Garda.
