La vigna sul mare

Beschreibung

La principessa stava nel suo salotto da lavoro, tutto parato di damasco azzurro, e si divertiva a confezionare fiori di carta. Le riuscivano perfetti, tanto da sembrare veri. Rose di maggio, grandi e molli, nel loro classico colore di aurora; garofani carnosi, rossi, o screziati d'ocra e di viola; camelie bianche, lucide e come congelate: ella non faceva altri fiori, ironicamente pensando che questi fossero i più aristocratici, convenienti a una dama del suo rango.

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.
