Very Old Women Playing With Themselves

WOMEN IN WAR by Dacia Maraini

A novel that did not know, this Woman guerrra Dacia Maraini, published by Einaudi in 1975 and set in 1970, at the beginning of the season that was later called the years of lead.

It 's a novel hard, for language, situations, characters and social analysis. The form is the journal of the protagonist, Vannina, a teacher at a primary school in the outskirts of Rome, on vacation with her husband Hyacinth, in the Sicilian island.

The story that emerges is fluid and engaging, not at all from its fragmented form, writing the pace lively and imaginative and always tense.

At times, when language mixed with superstitions of the island women, the involvement in the history of disturbing that land, it seems to scroll a text of anthropology.

Then the encounter and involvement with a group of extra-that, somehow, always available Vannina stumble in their activities.

who lived through the '70s, recognizing the language, not as rebuilt but truthful in the representation of nodes and the problems that afflict the civilian life in Italy in the 70's: not only the status of women, the social tensions, delays in school, the degradation of Naples and the Roman suburbs, working at home, the violence of institutions, the revolt of young people.

A novel that has the strength and depth of a sociological document, but flowing with the rhythm of a riveting thriller.

When you attend a library with some diligence, is that someone will advise you to read, assuming you know your taste and your sensibilities from books purchased. The library in question was a small traditional library near my office, in Prati, run by a friendly middle-aged lady.

E 'I may have purchased the book suggested only by gentleness and placed in the library without reading it, perhaps after having peeled, casually, or even started reading, but finding no grounds of special interest to end reading, leave between Krishnamurti and Kundera.



So capitatomi days ago in his hands, flip through it and read it quickly, are only about ninety pages. It 's a writing intensive, imaginative, someone seems to have judged among the best novels of the twentieth century, it seems very exaggerated, and I do not believe in the hit parade, useful only to the seller.

The author is Hungarian, escaped from his country in 1956 during the Soviet occupation, a naturalized Swiss, writes in French.

BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S by Truman Capote's guest

I have the laudable initiative of the newspaper La Republic, which in the series The Library has published several novels of the twentieth century that otherwise maybe would not have ever read, an encounter with Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote. Of course, reading is partly disturbed by the constant comparison that, even unintentionally, is to do with the true cult movie is the movie with Audrey Hepburn, but the novel works well alone, without the cumbersome reference I met Truman Capote astonishing for a novel of the 60s, In Cold Blood, reconstruction, not at all novel, an act of violence happened a few years earlier, in a province of the American middle west.

In Breakfast at Tiffany (1959) Capote, like other writers of the Beat Generation, captures the spirit of the time and seems to propose a philosophy of life which can convert the models of strict Puritan morality in the practice of pure joy, lightness and vitality.

American cinema, the big studios, the major , seem to have the strength to
present a reality that is not trivially comforting and optimistic, and so condemns Breakfast at Tiffany to be only a delightful comedy 's American Life, that is the triumph of conformity against the spirit of the novel.
