Grazia Deledda

Il flauto nel bosco (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

La raccolta comprende ventisette testi scritti dal 1921 al 1923 di cui due soli lunghi.
In alcune novelle fa da sfondo ancora la Sardegna; in altre i luoghi di villeggiatura preferiti dalla scrittrice, in particolare la costa romagnola. In altre, infine, Roma. Una Roma minore, però, in cui si colgono aspetti insoliti, della periferia. Estranea alla Roma tradizionale, la Deledda era solita ritagliarsi un suo microcosmo da cui trae ispirazione per novelle autobiografiche.

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.
