Produktbeschreibung
Antonio Fogazzaro's 'The Saint' is a poignant novel that delves into the themes of faith, love, and redemption. Set in Italy during the late 19th century, the book follows the story of a young noblewoman, whose strong religious beliefs are tested when she falls in love with a passionate and worldly man. Fogazzaro's writing style is characterized by its lyrical prose and deep introspection, reflecting the author's own struggles with faith and spirituality. The novel's exploration of conflicting desires and moral dilemmas is reminiscent of the works of other Italian literary giants such as Alessandro Manzoni and Giovanni Verga. The intricate plot and well-developed characters make 'The Saint' a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today. Antonio Fogazzaro, a devout Catholic, drew inspiration from his own spiritual journey in writing this novel. His background as a prominent Italian novelist and social critic gives depth and authenticity to the themes explored in the book. I highly recommend 'The Saint' to readers who enjoy thought-provoking literature that explores the complexities of human nature and the eternal struggle between faith and desire.
Autorenporträt
Antonio Fogazzaro nacque a Vicenza nel 1842, da una agiata e colta famiglia che lo avviò agli studi di giurisprudenza. Laureatosi a Torino nel 1864, si stabilì a Milano per alcuni anni, frequentando Arrigo Boito e gli ambienti della scapigliatura. I temi della poetica di Antonio Fogazzaro evidenziano il contrasto tra le passioni e il senso del dovere. Sensualità nelle immagini alternata a slanci mistici e inquietudini interiori. Fogazzaro si accostò alle correnti moderniste e alle teorie positiviste ed evoluzioniste, contribuendo alla loro diffusione tramite un'intensa attività di pubblicista e conferenziere, ben presto contestata dalla Chiesa; nel 1905 le sue opere furono messe all'indice. Fogazzaro morì a Vicenza nel 1911.
