Un altro De Roberto. Esperimenti e ghiribizzi di uno scrittore
The fame of Federico De Roberto, after years of oblivion, is now consolidated and the absolute excellence of his narrative masterpiece, I Vicerè, is acknowledged, as well as other novels such as L'illusione and L'imperio. In this book, however, Giuseppe Traina studies other lesser-known aspects of the Derobertian production: the two novels considered "minor" (Ermanno Raeli and Spasimo); the novels, often brilliant; theatrical production, almost always unlucky. And it puts in full light the contradictory, ironic and self-ironic, ironic and sometimes even ghiriborous aspects of De Roberto's writing: an author capable of mixing papers, of surprising the reader and then again disappointing his expectations, always experimenting new ways, for character dissatisfaction or, more likely, for a precise attitude to look beyond the dominant poetics, the "schools", the belonging, towards a freer horizon, in which literature is the result of an inspiration stubbornly outside the box.
