Download or read book Cosima written by Grazia Deledda and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Cosima" tells the story of an aspiring writer growing up in Nuoro, Sardinia during the last decades of the nineteenth century when formal education for women was rare and literary careers unheard-of. Based on Deledda's own life, the work describes a young woman's struggle against the dismay and disapproval of her family and friends at her creative ambitions. Yet it also reads like a charming fable with details of family life, rural traditions and wild bandits, and it is as much a novel of memory as of character or action. Deledda's characters are poor country folk driven by some predetermined force. Their loves are tragic, their lives as hard and as rigidly controlled as nature itself in the hills of Sardinia. Deledda creates memorable figures who play out their lives against this backdrop of mountains and bare plains, sheepfolds and vineyards. Shimmering in the distance is the sea and escape - for a few - to the Continent or America. In 1926 Grazia Deledda became the second woman and the second Italian to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. She wrote thirty-three novels, including "Reeds in the Wind," and many books of short stories, almost all set on Sardinia. Her work has become well known to English-speaking readers through Martha King's translations for Italica Press.

Book Synopsis Reeds in the Wind by : Grazia Deledda
Download or read book Reeds in the Wind written by Grazia Deledda and published by Italica Pr. This book was released on 1999 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rugged landscape of Baronia on Sardinia sets the scene for this novel of crime, guilt and retribution. This novel presents the story of the Pintor sisters - from a family of noble landowners now in decline - their nephew Giacinto, and their servant Efix, who is trying to make up for a mysterious sin committed many years before. Around, below, and inside them the raging Mediterranean storms, the jagged mountains, the murmuring forests, and the gushing springs form a Greek chorus of witness to the tragic drama of this unforgiving land. Deledda tells her story with her characteristic love of the natural landscape and fascination with the folk culture of the island, with details about the famous religious festivals held in mountain encampments and the lore of the "dark beings who populate the Sardinian night, the fairies who live in rocks and caves, and the sprites with seven red caps who bother sleep." Introduction by the Sardinian ethnographer, Dolores Turchi.

Book Synopsis The Church of Solitude by : Grazia Deledda
Download or read book The Church of Solitude written by Grazia Deledda and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Church of Solitude tells the story of Maria Concezione, a young Sardinian seamstress living with breast cancer at the cusp of the twentieth century. Overwhelmed by the shame of her diagnosis, she decides that no one can know what has happened to her, but the heavy burden of this secrecy changes her life in dramatic ways and almost causes the destruction of several people in her life. This surprising novel paints the portrait of a woman facing the unknown with courage, faith, and self-reliance, and is the last and most autobiographical work of Grazia Deledda, who died of breast cancer in 1936, shortly after its publication. An afterword by the translator offers additional information on the author and examines the social and historical environment of that time.
Download or read book Honest Souls written by Grazia Deledda and published by Troubador Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anna Malvas is taken in by her uncle Paolo Velena and his family soon after she becomes an orphan. Anna enters their home as a child and grows into adulthood, falling in and out of love and eventually blossoming into a poised young woman. Along the way, Deledda's vivid descriptive narrative accompanies us as we discover the Sardinia of the late 19th-century. Anna's story is set around cameo-like vignettes interspersed with simple details - descriptions of a wedding dress and the scented white paper in which it is wrapped, the intricacies of Richelieu embroidery, the procedure for sun drying tomatoes - which enhance the fabric of the story. Throughout Honest Souls, Anna's story is imbibed with folkloric zest, making the novel a valuable snapshot of the smalltown Sardinia of her day. Written in 1895, by Grazia Deledda, Honest Souls is an excellent example of the regional Italian fiction of its day. Deledda has a descriptivist's eye and she brings the unique flavours of Sardinia to the attention of the world. Grazia Deledda enjoyed international acclamation, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1926."
