Incluye seis relatos: La reina de las tinieblas, El ni�o perdido, Las dos justicias, La yegua negra, Sarra y Primeros besos. En "La reina de las tinieblas" se retrata la evoluci�n de una mujer que vive instalada en una felicidad absoluta cuando algo, en su interior, empieza a dejar de funcionar. En "El ni�o perdido" se cuenta la historia de un hombre al borde del suicidio, al que un suceso absolutamente imprevisto le ocurre el mismo d�a que toma la decisi�n de abandonar su vida... En "Las dos justicias" se cuenta la historia de un humilde le�ador sardo al que un d�a le ocurre algo parecido a una bendici�n, que se acaba convirtiendo en maldici�n. En "La yegua negra" es un humilde celador que mantiene una iglesia campestre, venerada por los lugare�os, el protagonista, y un delito que se comete en el santo lugar. En "Sarra" se nos presenta una hermosa y joven muchacha de la que se enamora una persona con buena posici�n, a la que Sarra detesta, pero que su familia quiere como yerno. En "Primeros besos" el protagonista son los celos de un joven pastor, tan hermoso como pobre, y se enamora perdidamente de la joven hija de un tabernero. Seis narraciones, hasta ahora in�ditas en espa�ol, sombr�as y verdaderas, como lo es el conjunto de la literatura de la premio nobel Grazia Deledda, ambientadas como tantas otras en la Cerde�a que la vio nacer, y traducidas por primera vez por el escritor y traductor Javier Nodras.
Sobre la autora Grazia Deledda (1871-1936) es la �nica escritora italiana ganadora del Premio Nobel de literatura. De su Cerde�a natal, se traslad� a Roma. Comenz� muy joven a escribir cuentos y novelas, publicados en peri�dicos y revistas modestas; su primera notoriedad lleg� con la novela Anime oneste (1895), presentada por R. Bonghi, a la que siguieron La giustizia, 1899; Dopo il divorzio, 1903, reeditada con el t�tulo Naufraghi in porto, 1920; Elias Portolu, 1903; Cenere 1904; L'edera, 1908; etc., que presentan los t�rminos del dualismo entre el mundo del mal y el anhelo de redenci�n como inconciliables. Pero poco a poco, al igual que la visi�n religiosa de la vida de Grazia Deledda va atemperando su rigor b�blico con un sentido de piedad cristiana, el contraste entre realismo y lirismo se compone cada vez m�s de un aire encantado y fabuloso, donde los acontecimientos humanos se entrelazan arcanamente con los de la naturaleza y el paisaje. Las novelas de Chiaroscuro (1912), Colombi e sparvieri (1912) y Canne al vento (1913) marcan los distintos grados de este proceso de fusi�n tem�tica y estil�stica, que culminar�a en las novelas y cuentos del llamado segundo periodo de Deledda (Il segreto dell'uomo solitario, 1921; Il Dio dei viventi, 1922; Annalena Bilsini, 1927; La vigna sul mare, 1932; Cosima, post, 1937; etc.), que muestran c�mo su ficci�n, ya liberada de todo regionalismo, participa en ciertos aspectos (entre los autores favoritos de Deledda, junto con Verga y los novelistas rusos, siempre estuvo D'Annunzio) de esa actitud de sensibilidad y gusto que recibe el nombre de "decadentismo".• Author(s): Clear | James • Publisher: Penguin • Publisher Imprint: Penguin Random House • Subject: General Books
