Alice In Wonderland Infant

LETTERS FROM CAPRI Mario Soldati

That the re-readings, compared to the first reading, are more interesting, deeper, I think I have written many times, I add that too often there are surprises, especially when they come to fix a different recollection of that book.

It 's the case of this beautiful novel by Mario Soldati, who in 1954 won him the Premio Strega. I remembered it differently, a simple fact of horns, discovery, through the discovery of some letters, the betrayal of a wife. Maybe I was too young at first reading my novel is projected on the banality of existence.

First, the shape. The author, who writes in first person, is himself an accomplished film director. But the story does not concern him, but an American friend, who shall submit a story, its history, as the subject of film.

The two-story narrative and characters alternate disvelano themselves through the astonishment and attraction in front of the Mediterranean mentality, towards a way of living a natural, almost pagan.

not tell, of course the story, which I leave to the joyful discovery of who will find this novel,
that, after inflation of the years of post-neorealist guerrra, was the beginning of a return to the novel invention, structure of well-structured and paced.

the attention of Alberto Moravia

It 's a strange novel, this one.

In the Prologue, which is part of the novel, is the same protagonist, who writes in first person narrative to explain the mechanism. A reporter in search of authenticity, he decided to keep a diary in which record what happens in his everyday life, a collection of material with the intention of using it in a novel.

In the diary comes a bit 'all the daily news, a fantastic evolution of facts that have already happened, and lies, dreams, considerations, but each time the author is to report the truth by analyzing the reasons which led him to write falsehoods.

Central in the Diary, which is preparatory to the novel, the relationship between the protagonist and Baba, teenage daughter of his wife, including incestuous temptations and attempts to create a normal relationship within a family that has nothing to normal.

Has anyone considered that this novel, for conciseness of language, moral and artistic dryness, is the most successful of all the work of Moravia.
