Produktbeschreibung

Grazia Deledda nacque a Nuoro, nella sua amatissima Sardegna, il 27 settembre 1871. Si sposò giovanissima e si trasferì a Roma. Studiò da autodidatta e all'età di 17 anni scrisse le sue prime storie, basate sui temi sentimentali e sul folklore. Deledda ha spesso usato il paesaggio della Sardegna come sfondo per descrivere le difficoltà incontrate dai suoi personaggi. Gli antichi modi della Sardegna sono spesso in conflitto con i costumi moderni, e i suoi personaggi sono costretti a trovare complicate soluzioni ai problemi morali. Nel 1926 vinse il Premio Nobel per la letteratura. Morì a Roma il 15 agosto del 1936. Cosima, romanzo autobiografico, fu pubblicato postumo nel 1937.

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.
