Grazia Deledda

Racconti sardi

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

La raccolta dei Racconti sardi venne pubblicata per la prima volta nel 1894 ed è composta da otto novelle. Tra le altre, Il mago e Ancora magie sono due novelle che testimoniano la profonda conoscenza, da parte della Deledda, dell'attitudine alla magia assai diffusa in Sardegna. Entrambe si rifanno alle pratiche di medicina popolare e agli antichi culti che legano il folklore sardo alle religioni primitive: il primo racconta di un mago e di una misteriosa pietra parlante; il secondo dei presunti poteri di un olio consacrato. Sebbene possano sembrare due storie di fantasia, si tratta al contrario di due "racconti storici" dei quali si occuparono, come specificò la Deledda in una nota, "persino i giornali dell'isola" (Aonia edizioni).

Autorenporträt

Grazia Deledda (1871-1936) was an Italian writer who achieved international acclaim and recognition for her literary works, particularly her novels and short stories. She was born in Nuoro a town located in Sardinia, Italy, which would later serve as a significant influence on her writing. This regional focus would become a hallmark of her writing, distinguishing her from many of her contemporaries in Italian literature. Her breakthrough came with the novel ""Elias Portolu"" (1903), which garnered critical praise and established her reputation as a significant voice in Italian literature. Many of Deledda's works explore themes such as love, longing, fate, and the clash between tradition and modernity. In 1926, Grazia Deledda became the first Italian woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, a testament to the international recognition of her literary achievements. The Nobel Committee praised her ""idealistically inspired writings which with plastic clarity picture the life on her native island [Sardinia] and with depth and sympathy deal with human problems in general."" Deledda's writing style is characterized by its lyrical prose and vivid descriptions of nature, which serve as both a backdrop and a reflection of her characters' inner lives. Her works continue to be celebrated for their insightful portrayal of Sardinian culture and their exploration of universal themes that resonate across cultures and time periods. Throughout her career, Grazia Deledda wrote numerous novels, short stories, and essays, leaving behind a rich literary legacy that continues to inspire readers and scholars alike. Her contributions to Italian literature and her ability to capture the complexities of human experience have cemented her place as one of the foremost writers of her generation.
