Nell'azzurro

Beschreibung

Vi parrà un romanzo, o mia bionda e piccola lettrice, ma è una storia vera: tanto vera che io, per narrarvela, cambio i nomi delle persone e dei luoghi alle quali e nei quali accadde. Figuriamoci in Sardegna, nella mia verde e sconosciuta Sardegna, e cominciamo. Si chiamava Cicytella, nome che nei nostri dialetti sardi significa Franceschina: niente altro che Cicytella, perché non aveva famiglia, non aveva nome: probabilmente era una trovatella, ma nessuno era anche certo di ciò.

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.
