Produktbeschreibung

In un angolo della tavola da pranzo, che riflettendo la luce gialla del lume risplendeva come una lastra di rame, Diego e Maria giocavano appassionatamente a carte. Essi conoscevano a perfezione ogni partita, dalla scopa al tresette, dalla briscola al lanzichenecco e all'asino, e sempre giocavano, sino ad esaurirsi. Fuori imperversava il vento e gelava, tanto che il fuoco del camino e del braciere non bastavano a riscaldare il freddo ambiente della vasta stanza bianca, scarsamente arredata; ma i due giovanissimi giocatori non si accorgevano di nulla, non provavano freddo, non sentivano il vasto soffio del vento che scuoteva le inferriate e passava con un possente fruscìo come di mille gig...

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.
