Produktbeschreibung
A tender, fiercely modern romance set against a world of rigid social codes. After The Divorce: A Romance (Part II) invites you to witness love's endurance when the old rules threaten to fracture a life. This restoration by Alpha Editions offers more than a reprint; it presents a concise, moving exploration of post-divorce relationships, marriage and society, and the quiet revolutions of gender roles and expectations. Through Grazia Deledda's piercing gaze, the novel blends romantic fiction with literary drama, anchored in early twentieth-century Italy and the Sardinian setting that so shaped her Italian realist fiction. It speaks to both the heart and the conscience, balancing intimate desire with the social pressures that define belonging. Historic significance flows through Deledda's work, marking a milestone in classic literature and realist storytelling. For casual readers, it offers a compelling, character-driven narrative with immediate emotional pull. For classic-literature collectors and librarians, it stands as a carefully curated artefact from a renowned author, a conversation piece about love, duty, and resilience. Selling points to note: out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint-a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Perfect for romance fiction fans and classic literature readers alike, this book deepens our understanding of Italian realist fiction and the power of love to endure.
Autorenporträt
Grazia Deledda nasce a Nuoro nel 1871, in una famiglia di piccoli proprietari terrieri. Interrotti gli studi precocemente, la giovane Grazia approfondisce da autodidatta la sua passione per la letteratura, giungendo a pubblicare alcuni suoi racconti sulla rivista L¿Ultima Moda, a soli 19 anni. Nel 1900 si trasferisce a Roma con il marito, conosciuto a Cagliari l¿anno prima: rimarrà nella città fino alla morte, avvenuta nel 1936. E¿ proprio nella capitale che i suoi capolavori vedono la luce: Elias Portolu (1903), Cenere (1904), L¿Edera (1908), L¿incendio nell¿oliveto (1918), Il segreto di un uomo solitario (1914), Canne al vento (1913), Marianna Sirca (1915), Il Dio dei viventi (1922), e infine Cosima, pubblicato postumo. Ma è il 1926 a rappresentare una data significativa per la scrittrice, chiamata a ritirare il premio Nobel per la letteratura: Grazia Deledda, prima donna a ricevere tale onorificenza, fu premiata per la sua prosa idealisticamente ispirata che con chiarezza plastica dipinge la vita della sua isola nativa e con profondità e simpatia si confronta con i problemi umani in generale.
