Summary

"Pierre Froment, giovane abate vissuto nei quartieri più degradati di Parigi, scrive un libro ispirato a ideali di giustizia sociale e carità cristiana, "Roma novella", subito messo all'Indice dalla Chiesa. Giunto a Roma per difendere la propria opera e ottenere udienza da papa Leone XIII, si renderà conto che il suo lavoro non potrà mai ottenere l'approvazione di quel Cattolicesimo attento a difendere il proprio potere temporale. Alle vicende dell'abate Froment, ospite nel Palazzo Boccanera in via Giulia, si intreccia la tragica storia d'amore dei cugini Dario e Benedetta, alla ricerca di un'impossibile felicità. L'incredibile, dimenticato capolavoro del maestro del naturalismo."

    The classic story collection by a great American masterSherwood Anderson’s unforgettable story cycle has long been considered one of the finest works of American literature. The central character is George Willard, a youngartist coming of age in a quiet town in the heart of the Midwest, but his story is no more extraordinary than those of friends and neighbors such as Kate Swift, a lonely schoolteacher whose beauty inspires lust and confusion; Wing Biddlebaum, a recluse whose restless hands are the source of both his new name and the terrible secret that led him to abandon the old one; and Doctor Reefy, who hides his personal suffering by pouring it onto scraps of paper. With its uncompromising realism and unique narrative structure—twenty-two short tales linked by their setting and by a large cast of recurring characters—Winesburg, Ohio inspired an entire generation of writers, including William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, and forever changed the depiction of small-town life in popular American culture.This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
