I Malavoglia

Серия: "-"

Sullo sfondo aspro e selvaggio della Sicilia dell'Ottocento, la storia dolente dell'umile famiglia di pescatori di Aci Trezza. Al centro della narrazione sta il naufragio della''Provvidenza'', la pi&# 249; vecchia barca da pesca del villaggio, carica di lupini presi a credito. Si snoda cos&# 236; una trama straordinariamente complessa che non abbandona mai lo svolgersi doloroso del dramma; una serie di rovesci, colpo su colpo contro i Malavoglia, ogni volta che a forza di rassegnazione e coraggio riescono a rialzarsi dal colpo precedente.

Verga, Giovanni

born Sept. 2, 1840, Catania, Sicily
died Jan. 27, 1922, Catania

Italian writer, the most important of the verismo (realist) school of novelists.

Born to a family of landowners, Verga left Sicily for the mainland, where he remained until 1893. There he developed a writing style noted for its terse accuracy and intensity of feeling. His best works include the short stories of Little Novels of Sicily (1883), the novels The House by the Medlar Tree (1881) and Mastro-Don Gesualdo (1889), and the play Cavalleria rusticana (1884; "Rustic Chivalry"), which became immensely popular when it was adapted as an opera by Pietro Mascagni. His influence on the post-World War II generation of Italian Neorealist writers was particularly marked (see Neorealism).

▪ Italian author
born Sept. 2, 1840, Catania, Sicily
died Jan. 27, 1922, Catania
 novelist, short-story writer, and playwright, most important of the Italian verismo (Realist) school of novelists (see verismo). His reputation was slow to develop, but modern critics have assessed him as one of the greatest of all Italian novelists. His influence was particularly marked on the post-World War II generation of Italian authors; a landmark film of the Neorealist cinema movement, Luchino Visconti's Terra trema (1948; The Earth Trembles), was based on Verga's novel I malavoglia.

      Born to a family of Sicilian landowners, Verga went to Florence in 1869 and later lived in Milan, where the ideas of other writers much influenced his work. In 1893 he returned to Catania.

      Starting with historical and patriotic novels, Verga went on to write novels in which psychological observation was combined with romantic elements, as in Eva (1873), Tigre reale (1873; “Royal Tigress”), and Eros (1875). These sentimental works were later referred to by Verga as novels “of elegance and adultery.” Eventually he developed the powers that made him prominent among the European novelists of the late 19th century, and within a few years he produced his masterpieces: the short stories of Vita dei campi (1880; “Life in the Fields”) and Novelle rusticane (1883; Little Novels of Sicily), the great novels I malavoglia (1881) and Mastro-don Gesualdo (1889), and Cavalleria rusticana (1884), a play rewritten from a short story, which became immensely popular as an opera (1890) by Pietro Mascagni.

      Verga wrote with terse accuracy and an intensity of human feeling that constitute a distinctively lyrical Realism. His realistic representations of the life of the poor peasants and fishermen of Sicily are particularly notable, and indeed, his strong feeling for locale helped start a movement of regionalist writing in Italy. His stories most commonly treated man's struggle for material betterment, which Verga saw as foredoomed. D.H. Lawrence translated several of his works into English, including Cavalleria rusticana and Mastro-don Gesualdo. Another notable English translation is The House by the Medlar Tree (1953), Eric Mosbacher's version of I malavoglia.
