Grazia Deledda

Il sigillo d'amore (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

La raccolta di novelle fu pubblicata dai Fratelli Treves nel 1926. Le storie sono collocate per la gran parte fuori dalla Sardegna, anche se l’isola ritorna come un ricordo lontano. Delle ventotto presenti nel volume, solo tre sono ambientate nell’isola. A dare il titolo al libro è tuttavia l’ultimo racconto, incentrato su un’importante figura femminile della Storia medievale sarda: Adelasia di Torres. Le vicende di questa donna, sospese tra storia e leggenda, hanno attirato l’interesse di molti scrittori ed intellettuali.

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.
