Autor Cesare Pavese Traducere de Tim Parks
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 ian 2021
'Insinuating, haunting and lyrically pervasive'The New York Times Book Review

A new translation by Tim Parks

Twenty years after making his fortune in America, Eel is drawn back to the closest thing he has to a home: the Piedmontese countryside where he grew up poor and illegitimate. Wandering the valleys and vineyards with his childhood friend Nuto, Eel remembers the farm where he worked, his employer's beautiful daughters, the rituals of rural life. Yet as he discovers more about what happened there during the war, he realizes that these timeless landscapes hide terrible, savage secrets. By turns fond and evocative, seductive and troubling,The Moon and the Bonfiresis a lyrical masterpiece of memory and betrayal.

Notă biografică

Cesare Pavese (Author)
Cesare Pavesewas born in 1908 in Santo Stefano Belbo, a village in the hills of Piedmont. He worked as a translator (of Melville, Joyce and Faulkner) and as an editor for the publishing house Einaudi Editore, while also publishing his own poetry and a string of successful novels, includingThe House on the HillandThe Moon and the Bonfires. Never actively anti-Fascist himself, he was nevertheless sent into internal exile in Calabria in 1935 for having aided other subversives. He killed himself in 1950, shortly after receiving Italy's most prestigious literary prize, the Strega.

Tim Parks (Translator)
Tim Parksmoved to Italy in 1981 and lives in Milan. Well known for his non-fiction writings on Italy -Italian Neighbours,An Italian Education- and his novels -Europa(shortlisted for the Booker Prize),Destiny,In Extremis- he has translated a number of Italian writers, in particular Macchiavelli, Leopardi, Moravia, Calvino, Tabucchi and Calasso. He has twice been awarded the John Florio Prize for Translation from the Italian.

Recenzii

Pavese is one of the few essential novelists of the mid-twentieth century
Pavese's nine short novels make up the most dense, dramatic, and homogeneous narrative cycle of modern Italy ... But above all they are works of an extraordinary depth where one never stops finding new levels, new meanings
Cesare Pavese's cool, contemplative voice was the most important among postwar Italian writers
Insinuating, haunting and lyrically pervasive
The Moon and the Bonfires[is Pavese's] masterpiece on the aftermath of the partisan war in the hills around Turin

In Pavese's last and greatest novel, Nuto, an orphan saved from death by a rural family, returns to Italy from America soon after World War II. He is now rich, and much has improved at home, but peace and prosperity cannot long mask the enduring realities of love and death.
