Description
"L'uomo dagli occhiali, Il gioco segreto, Via dell'An-gelo, Il cugino Venanzio, Lo scialle andaluso e molti altri. Una raccolta di racconti scelti da Elsa Morante per presentare, in ordine cronologico, la sua lunga avventura di narratrice. Storie di rapporti esclusivi che sfociano nel grottesco o nel dramma, di legami familiari e quotidiani che rivelano sempre qualche misterioso segreto, qualche demone nascosto. Racconti che definiscono un mondo nel quale, come ha scritto Cesare Garboli, show more «la certezza fisica e sociale convive con la percezione insorgente della sua ir-realta?, dove tutto e? cerimoniale, tutto e? indistrutti-bile, ma tutto e? mistero e tutto e? sempre in gioco."-- show lessTags

Prolific and highly successful, Elsa Morante distinguished herself as a novelist, short story writer, and poet. The Marxist critic Gyorgy Lukacs hailed Morante's early House of the Liars (1948) as "the greatest modern Italian novel," but it was Arthur's Island (1957) that brought her international fame and an independent income. Her great show more financial triumph was, however, History (1974), which was the first Italian novel to be marketed with high-pressure promotional advertising, making use of publisher, mass media, and political party resources to push sales up to 600,000 copies in less than six months. Morante married Alberto Moravia in 1941, and they separated in 1962. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
