Giusta lettura nell'imminenza della giornata internazionale per l'eliminazione della violenza contro le donne, questa serie di racconti, scritti con uno stile che va dalla narrazione alla cronaca, mostra come ancora oggi le donne siano le peggiori nemiche di se stesse, per la vergogna che provano di sé stesse e per l'accettazione con cui accolgono le violenze che vengono loro inflitte.
Ma mostra anche come la fragilità maschile si nutre di questa sconfinata dedizione femminile, consumando le prede fino all'annientamento, fisico e/o psicologico.
Per noi donne che non abbiamo mai subito, nè mai subiremmo violenza senza reagire, per ricordarci che ci sono altre donne che non hanno la nostra forza, per fare sì che abbiamo occhi per vedere show more o orecchie per ascoltare. show less
These are shocking short stories about mistreated women. Relentlessly, Maraini writes about various violent and sexual abuse to women in Italy. Even though this is written as fiction, it is unfortunately God's truths, which happen far too often in Europe, but also in all other parts of the world. There are grievances, which usually remain anonymous, people look away and the victims, psychically caught in their misery, can not resist.
Unfortunately, it also shows that these women are often not believed, especially when the offender is an 'important' personality or someone with money. Neither the police nor the courts are behind the victim. The investigations in these cases are often performed only superficially.
The story about the show more sexually abused children made me very sad and angry. I had great difficulty reading it to the end.
Maraini writes clearly and directly without something to gloss over.

The Florentine Maraini published her first novel, "La Vacanza" (The Holiday), which treats the theme of contemporary female sexuality, in 1962. The next year, she was awarded the Formentor Prize for the novel "L'Era del Malessere" (The Age of Malaise). Later in the decade, she moved almost exclusively to theater, establishing the Teatro di show more Centocelle in Rome in 1969. Though she resumed prose writing, and also has published numerous collections of poetry, she is best known as one of the most important voices in contemporary Italian theater, a writer, director, and producer. In all of her works, Maraini's protaganists are women, often in conflict with men, who are seeking female solidarity. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
