Grazia Deledda

Il vecchio della montagna (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Il romanzo segna il passaggio tra lo sperimentalismo giovanile e l'acquisizione di un ormai organico e maturo sistema letterario. La componente etico-morale permea di sé l'intero impianto narrativo e il vecchio della montagna - e il viaggio catartico che lo accompagna fino all'esito estremo - divengono allora simbolo di redenzione dei peccati di una umanità travolta dalla forza distruttrice dell'eros.www.ilisso.it

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.
