La chiesa della solitudine (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

La protagonista del romanzo è Maria Concezione, una donna che vive un duplice dramma: la malattia e l'amore negato. Uscito nell'anno della morte della scrittrice, il libro affronta il tema del cancro che affligge la protagonista, e dunque il lato notturno della vita, la sofferenza, il dolore, il ripiegamento in se stessi. Il lettore trova i segnali e i dati per riconoscere in filigrana le voci dell'anima e i silenzi, le gioie e le inquietudini, il successo e la malattia che hanno segnato la caratura umana dell'autrice stessa.www.ilisso.it

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.
