The Mark X Non è per caso che numerosi racconti novelle di Giovanni Verga siano stati ridotti a film.
Come suggerisce il titolo di questa raccolta che contiene quasi tutte le novelle della "Vita dei campi", si tratta di storie e storielle in cui emerge la vera faccia dell'uomo lontano dai confini del comportamento considerato oggi "garbato" e "consapevole".
Però gli "abitanti" dei racconti sono costretti a comportarsi in una certa maniera, oppure per meglio dire, mossi di altri motivi, che li rendono molto più audaci di noi lettori.
All'epoca sembra contassero altre cose, altri timori, altre passioni, Forse i personaggi verghiani sono più pronti e temerari di noi a fronteggiare tutti gli impacci che ingombrano la loro via verso la felicità.
Ed è proprio questa la caratteristica comune tra loro e noi che tutti siamo alla ricerca della felicità, Nedda, la Lupa, l'amante di Gramigna, Rosso Malpelo tutti questi personaggi portano alle loro spalle la palla di piombo detta tristezza, mescolata però con dei sogni di una vita felice.
Ne sono stati esposti nella raccolta tratti pittorici, quasi fotografici, Però quello che mi ha proprio affascinato è la capacità di Verga di essere taciturno, Si distingue con la bravura nel tacere di ciò che dev'essere intuito, Pertanto sono poche le scene in cui si manifestano i più gravi degli infortuni che capitano ai protagonisti, tanto da essere difficile per me a volte discernere cos'era successo perché ovviamente mi manca l'immaginazione sbocciata in quell'ambito sociale.
Comunque tutti i racconti mi hanno fatto una forte impressione, Verga is one of theth Century masters of the short story like Chekhov, the focus is often the experiences of common peoplein this case, Sicilian peasantsand they read almost like sketches, but unlike Chekhov they "turn" on uncommon, often violent, extremes of emotion: jealousy, lust, vengeance, guilt.
There's very little moralismand sometimes the darkest of circumstances are mixed with a humor that make these stories unlike anything I've ever read, I hope no one finds it overly weird that I fantasize about reading these stories out loud in bed to my future husband NB: there will be a test for anyone thinking of becoming my husband where we will lie in bed and I will read one of these stories out loud and he will have to find it endearing or else risk not becoming my husband.
L'unico difetto di questa novella è che dura troppo corta, Una storia meravigliosa, una passione ardente che non viene mai esplicitata eppure è così intensa che viene fuori nei non detti, Ne vorrei una versione di trecentomila parole da leggere e rileggere a piacimento, David Lan's new version of Verga's classic play
"Mothers like me We should be burned alive, We should be fed to the pigs, mothers like me, " A mother fumes about her daughter's love affair as they hurtle towards tragedy in Verga's passionate Italian drama, first performed in,
David Lan's acclaimed new version premiered at the RSC in June, An astonishingly intense novella abounding with hot passions and southern tragedies by Sicilian Giovanni Verga, one of the pivotal
figures of Italian Realism,
La Lupa, a Shewolf a slang word for prostitute, is the center of an emotional triangular, with her daughter Mara and the handsome Nanni, set among a community of extremely poor peasants in XIX Century Italy.
It is part of a collection of short stories 'Vita dei campi', The life of the fields, showing the extreme fascination of the 'Italian Emile Zola' with realism themes.
Bleak Good play about Sicilian life,These notes were made in:, I have never been a great fan of bleakthcentury verismo, which is what Verga is all about, With the single exception of the last story in the volume taken from his early and undistinguished romantic phase, all of these stories present a very bleak and dismal reality indeed that of the poor people in Sicily.
The general pattern of most of the stories is an intolerable situation materially amp/or emotionally which gets worse and worse and finally culminates in an act of violence, often provoked by sexual jealousy.
Money, adultery and, to some extent, the Church, are the mainsprings of action in all these stories, but it is action without shape, There is little or no dénouement in any of the stories and of course in this school of writing, little attempt to analyze character.
There are, I suppose, enough details available that the reader is invited to do the analysis, And there's a fair amount of overt symbolism, the plight of an animal often representing, or at least shedding further light on, the plight of human beings.
The style is lucid and simple, but not in any way compelling, at least not in translation, I found myself distanced the situation was alien, and I was not invited to invest emotion in the characters, So it was hard going at times, and I don't know if these techniques could really support a fulllength novel, Altho' there was a certain sameness about the stories, I would pick "Ieli" and "Story of the St, Joseph's Donkey" as the two that stand out in my memory, La lupa una donna affamata di desiderio che divora gli uomini, . .
