Grazia Deledda, unico premio Nobel femminile per le lettere italiane, è una delle dieci scrittrici in tutto il mondo ad avere ottenuto questo prestigioso riconoscimento.
Nata a Nuoro, nel cuore della Sardegna, del suo popolo narrò tradizioni, costumi, vicende storiche, banditi e amori. Il popolo sardo ha usi semplici e parchi così anche la sua cucina utilizza i prodotti della terra e dell'allevamento del bestiame, soprattutto ovini, in una economia agropastorale. Anche in casa Deledda si cuoceva il pane carrasau che durava in campagna per tante settimane senza ammuffire; anche in casa Deledda il porcetto e i dolci di mandorla e le sedadas arricchivano le feste. Un vero e proprio tesoro apparivano alla piccola scrittrice le provviste di frutta , uva e meloni d'inverno, chiuse nella soffitta.
Grazia Deledda sapeva cucinare molto bene. Così anche in Continente guardava con attenzione le donne di famiglia per imparare i segreti della polenta o dei piatti di pesce. Ricordava, con una punta di ironia, che quando il messo dell'ambasciata di Svezia nel novembre 1927 le portò la comunicazione del conferimento del Premio Nobel, le baciò la mano che odorava di cipolla in quanto la scrittrice aveva appena finito di preparare un gustoso soffritto per il sugo! ...

Excerpt: Luigi Pirandello (28 June 1867 10 December 1936) was an Italian dramatist, novelist, and short story writer awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1934, for his "bold and brilliant renovation of the drama and the stage."

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Gianfranco Zola, OBE, Ufficiale OMRI (born 5 July 1966 in Oliena, Sardinia) is a retired Italian footballer and current manager, who most recently served as manager of West Ham United from 2008 to 2010, after having been assistant manager of the Italy U-21 under Pierluigi Casiraghi. He spent the first decade of his career playing in Italy, most notably with Napoli, alongside Diego Maradona and Careca, and at Parma, before moving to English side Chelsea, where he was voted Football Writers' Player of the Year in 1997 and Chelsea's greatest ever player. He was capped 35 times for Italy. Zola signed his first professional contract with Sardinian team Nuorese in 1984. In 1986, he moved to Torres from Sassari, the oldest club in Sardinia, where he spent three seasons. In 1989, he signed for Napoli in Serie A. The young and talented Zola scored two goals as understudy to Diego Maradona as Napoli won the Serie A title in 1990. Maradona would prove to be a big influence on Zola's career. The two would spend hours practising free kicks together after training and Zola later said that "I learned everything from Diego. I used to spy on him every time he trained and learned how to curl a free-kick just like him." He helped Napoli to win the Supercoppa Italiana in 1991 and he made his debut for the Italian national side under coach Arrigo Sacchi in the same year, winning his first cap against Norway in November. In 1993, Zola left Napoli and joined fellow Serie A side Parma. He won the UEFA Cup with Parma and they were runners-up in Serie A and the Italian Cup in 1995. It was with the blue and yellow...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=346905 ... Read more

Product Description
I tre racconti appartengono al periodo più felice della produzione di Grazia Deledda, dal primo al secondo decennio del '900.La Martora: un ragazzino libero e ribelle incontra una donna che vive reclusa in casa, ed entrambi sono conquistati dalla bellezza e dalla dolcezza del piccolo animale, metafora dell'amore perduto.La Volpe: l'animale come pretesto per dissidi, gelosie e veleni fra gli abitanti di un villaggio delle montagne sarde.La Cerbiatta: un vecchio e le sue sofferenze addolcite dal difficile rapporto con una cerva selvatica.La distanza dalla Sardegna (si stabilirà a Roma all'inizio del secolo) agisce positivamente sulla scrittrice, smussandone il regionalismo e sublimando il folklore sardo dei suoi scritti in una certa atmosfera fiabesca, adattissima ai suoi interessi psicologici e morali. La narrazione asciutta permette di tratteggiare personaggi netti, privi di sbavature, irrequieti e travagliati da dissidi interiori, tutt'uno con l'ambiente naturale in cui vivono. I sentimenti che li guidano non lasciano spazi a ipotesi positive, e i sorprendenti finali aperti sono lì a mostrare che il destino è qualcosa che non si cambia, che amore solitudine e morte si devono scontare come un debito antico. Sullo sfondo delle storie una terra che abbaglia per la sua arcaica e austera bellezza. La voce profonda e intensa della narratrice dà vita ai personaggi, ai loro sentimenti e ai meravigliosi paesaggi della terra sarda. Le introduzioni musicali ai brani sono del gruppo vocale sardo Tenores di Bitti "Mialinu Pira", tratti dall' album "Su monte 'e Mesus".Contenuto: 1) La Martora 2) La Volpe 3) La Cerbiatta ...
