La giustizia

by Grazia Deledda, Anna Dolfi (Foreword)

Pubblicato nel 1899, "La giustizia" s'inscrive a pieno titolo nella protostoria della scrittirce. Nel periodo che va dal 1888 al 1900, la deledda si prova in una serie di sperimentazioni diverse e, al tempo stesso, di tentativi dispersivi, dettati dalle esigenze di mercato, dando vità nell'arco di appena un decennio a ben nove volumi, equamente divisi tra romanzi e raccolte di novelle.

158 pages, Mass Market Paperback

About the author

Grazia Maria Cosima Damiana Deledda was an Italian writer who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1926 "for her idealistically inspired writings which with plastic clarity picture the life on her native island [i.e. Sardinia] and with depth and sympathy deal with human problems in general". She was the first Italian woman to receive the prize, and only the second woman in general after Selma Lagerlöf was awarded hers in 1909.

Reviews

[Mobile Library]

The author reveals in The justice two constants in his work as a novelist, his awareness of the futility and brevity of life and the intense relationship between moods and landscape.
