هل سبق أحد أن قرأ هذه الرواية؟ أو أي رواية أخرى لـ ألبرتو مورافيا؟ وماذا عن بقية الكتاب الإيطاليين؟ هل قرأتم لهم؟
لي صديقة إيطالية وسألتها عن بعض الأسماء للكتاب الإيطاليين فقالت لي الآتي:
Here is some authors whose books I like reading:
Giovanni Verga: (1840 – 1922), he sets his novels in Sicily, his characters belong to the lower-class, fishermen, farmers, etc.., doomed to be defeated in spite of their efforts. I like this writer for the realistic descriptions and for the poetry of his characters.
The House by the Medlar Tree
Little Novels of Sicily
Grazia Deledda (1871 – 1936) she received the Nobel Prize for literature. She sets her works in another Italian Island: Sardinia. Also in her case, the characters are poor people, Sardinia is famous for shepherds, I like her very much in content and style. I suggest reading:
Reeds in the Wind
Giuseppe Tommasi di Lampedusa: (1896 – 1957) he is famous for one book: The Leopard, a masterpiece, though Vittorini didn’t like it! But I did. The protagonist is an aristocratic family of Sicily, the Salina, on the eve of the unity of Italy. This family is part of a world which is fading away with all its privileges. The Sicilian aristocratic society is collapsing a soon as the Unity is realizing, and the novel is veined by melancholy.
The Leopard
Luigi Pirandello (1867 – 1936) Another Sicilian. Novelist and playwright, complex personality, he points out the problem of identity through his characters. Who can say which is the real identity of each person? Does a man have more than one identity? These are some of the them of his work.
The Late Mattia Pascal
Loveless Love
One, No One, and One Hundred Thousand (play)
Natalia Ginzburg: (1916- 1991). She spent her youth during the fascism and she passed through the 2° World War. Her life was signed by her husband’s death, an antifascist intellectual; Leone Ginzburg, who died in prison. I love her work. her dry style, though treating intense subjects, (family, war, death..) she whispers about them. She never appeals to our emotions, never describes them in a melodramatic way. When I read her books I thought “she isn’t saying anything special”, but at the end they remained in my mind.
All our Yesterdays:
pictures of daily life during the Fascism
Family Sayings:
I don’t know how it has been translated into English. This intense novel speaks about family and the slang “family sayings” the protagonists use only with their relatives. These particular words, not existing in any dictionary, make them feeling a community and strengthen the family’s relations. The power of words..
A place to Live (selected essays)
The Little Virtues (selected essays)
Primo Levi (1919 – 1989) Italia Jew, he was a survivor of the concentration camp in Auschwitz. He never get over this experience and his death is not clear (it has been said he committed suicide). He wrote about his period in Auschwitz in 3 books. Even if treating a dramatic matter, he writes with the lucidity of a scientist. I visited Auschwitz in Poland this year and I had a confirmation that what he wrote is unfortunately true.
If this is a Man
The Truce
The Drowned and the Saved
Leonardo Sciascia (1921 – 1989) writer of novels, stories, polemicist and politically active in the left party he is mostly famous for his novels about politic corruption. He said about himself: “I don't have a great creative imagination.... All my books are the story of a series of historical delusions seen in the light of the present”
The Day of the Owl
Candido
To Each His Own
Italo Calvino (1923 – 1985) It’s difficult to describe this author and his style, I can tell you that hardly ever you find someone who didnt like his books. I suggest reading them, then you can make me know what you think about them.
If On a Winter Night a Traveller: very well written book
The Baron in theTrees
Cosimo, a young eighteenth-century Italian nobleman, rebels by climbing into the trees to remain there for the rest of his life.
Under the Jaguar Sun
Three tales on the five senses planned by Calvino, who died last year. Taste, hearing, and smell.
Path to the Nest of Spiders
