Dietro le parole

Rate this book
Il tono apparentemente cronachistico di queste pagine mette a fuoco decisivi nodi dialettici come il confronto tra classicità e avanguardia, visto specialmente in rapporto al contrasto tra totalità e disgregazione, il dissidio tra esperienza e parola, lo stereotipo culturale mitteleuropeo, la sintesi tra poesia e scienza, ma anche il dramma dell'anarchismo reazionario, studiato qui quale struttura in filigrana dei nazionalisti e dei fascismi entre deux guerres. Un motivo di particolare suggestione nasce dal fatto che Magris si cimenta qui sovente con materie e aree culturali diverse, dalla piccola patria triestina agli intrighi della grande letteratura cosmopolita.
