The Experience of Pain
Autor Carlo Emilio Gaddaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 oct 2017
At the height of Fascist rule in Italy and following the death of his mother, Carlo Emilio Gadda began work on his first novel,The Experience of Pain. This portrait of a highly educated young man whose anger and frustration frequently erupt in ferocious outbursts directed towards his ageing mother is a powerful critique of the society of his time and the deep wounds inflicted on his generation. Set in a fictional South American country,The Experience of Painis at once richly imaginative and intensely personal: the perfect introduction to Gadda's innovative style and literary virtuosity.

Notă biografică
One
of
the
most
distinctive
Italian
writers
of
the
twentieth
century,Carlo
Emilio
Gaddawas
born
in
Milan
in
1893.
An
electrical
engineer
by
profession,
Gadda
published
many
short
stories
before
beginning
work
on
his
first
novelThe
Experience
of
Pain.
He
received
critical
acclaim
for
his
revolutionary
use
of
language
and
narrative
form,
and
is
often
compared
to
James
Joyce
in
this
respect.
His
other
works
includeThat
Awful
Mess
on
Via
Merulana.
Recenzii
His
best
work
.
.
.
among
the
most
powerful
passages
in
20th-century
Italian
fiction.
The
drama
of
the
book
lies
in
the
son's
extremely
aggressive
behaviour
towards
his
mother,
prompted
by
her
relaxed
openness
to
the
world
.
.
.
Gadda's
achievement
in
evoking
a
chaotic
world
is
simultaneously
a
declaration
of
his
disinclination
and
perhaps
inability
to
enter
into
a
direct
relationship
with
it.
Gadda was brought up in and belongs to a time in which it proved impossible to view the world as a whole - a magma of disorder, corruption, hypocrisy, stupidity, injustice - from the vantage of hope . . . His anguish is without remedy; his style obsessive and tragically mixed.
Visceral . . . superabundant . . . comedy, humour, grotesque metamorphosis are natural means of expression for this man whose life was always unhappy, tormented by neurosis, by the difficulty of relations with others, by the anguish of death
