| la masseria delle allodole: Skylark Farm Antonia Arslan, 2008-03-18 A beautiful, wrenching debut chronicling the life of a family struggling for survival during the Armenian genocide in Turkey, in 1915. After forty years in Venice, Yerwant is planning a long-awaited reunion with his family at their homestead in the Anatolian hills of Turkey. But as joyful preparations begin, Italy enters the Great War and closes its borders. At the same time, in Turkey, the Young Turks, determined to rid their nation of minorities, force his family on a brutal march of hunger and humiliation. We follow Yerwant's relatives as they strain to stay alive and as four children set out on a daring course to reach Yerwant—and safety—in Italy. A novel as lyrical and poignant as a fable. |

| la masseria delle allodole: The Armenian Genocide Alan Whitehorn, 2015-05-26 With its analytical introductory essays, more than 140 individual entries, a historical timeline, and primary documents, this book provides an essential reference volume on the Armenian Genocide. The Armenian Genocide has often been considered a template for subsequent genocides and is one of the first genocides of the 20th century.

Similarly, the primary source documents are prefaced by thoughtful introductions that will provide the necessary context to help students understand the significance of the material. |
| la masseria delle allodole: Horrorism Adriana Cavarero, 2009 Words like 'terrorism' and 'war' are no longer capable of encompassing the scope of cntemporary violence.

| la masseria delle allodole: The Cry for Peace Andrea Riccardi, 2024-09-20 In these pages, Andrea Riccardi reflects on the need to create a culture of peace, a spiritual and social movement that puts peace at the center of public concerns and politics. It is up to each of us to become an artisan of peace: our choice lies at the beginning of peace building. Not turning away means knowing, becoming informed, following events, standing in solidarity with those suffering from war, remembering them in prayer. A living public opinion can influence and change national events and international policies. It can hold back or prevent war, and open avenues for peace. |
| la masseria delle allodole: Aesthetics of Displacement Ozlem Koksal, 2017-07-27 Displacement does not only have an effect on groups' and individuals' ways of relating to their identity and their past but the knowledge and experience of it also has an impact on its representation. Looking at films that represent the experience of displacement in relation to Turkey's minorities, Aesthetics of Displacement argues that there is a particular aesthetic continuity among the otherwise unrelated films. Ozlem Koksal focuses on films that bring taboo issues concerning the repression of minorities into visibility, arguing that the changing political and social conditions determine not only the types of stories told but also the ways in which these stories are told. Focusing on aesthetic and narrative continuities, the films discussed include Ararat, Waiting for the Clouds and Once Upon a Time in Anatolia among others. Each film is examined in light of major historical event(s) and their context (political and social) as well as the impact these events had on the construction of both minority and Turkish identity. |

| la masseria delle allodole: Consequences of Denial Aida Alayarian, 2018-03-28 Consequences of Denial seeks to provide some awareness and understanding of the horrendous tragedy of the Armenian genocide. This book illuminates the little known fact that over two million innocent Armenians died at the hands of the Ottoman Empire between 1894 and 1922; a genocide that has been, and continues to be, denied by successive Turkish governments. In this book, the author demonstrates the need not only for remembrance, but first and foremost for the acknowledgement of genocides, from government level downwards. Only by taking adequate steps at personal, group, national and international levels to acknowledge such massacres, and the trauma they create, can humankind attempt to prevent such atrocities from ever happening again. By documenting the psychological effects of the forgotten Armenian genocide and by linking these effects to crossgenerational trauma and processes of response and denial, this book aims to shed light from a psychoanalytic perspective on an insufficiently researched aspect of this genocide. |
| la masseria delle allodole: Journeys Exposed Giorgia Alù, 2018-09-03 Journeys Exposed: Women's Writing, Photography, and Mobility examines contemporary literature written by women that are all in different ways related to Italy. It argues that photography provides women with a means to expose aspects of their nomadic self and of the others’ mobile lives within and beyond the writing process. By resorting to the visual, women individualistically respond to forms of hegemonic power, fragmentation, displacement, loss and marginality, and make these experiences key to their creative production. |

| la masseria delle allodole: Representing Genocide Rebecca Jinks, 2016-06-02 This book explores the diverse ways in which Holocaust representations have influenced and structured how other genocides are understood and represented in the West. Rebecca Jinks focuses in particular on the canonical 20th century cases of genocide: Armenia, Cambodia, Bosnia, and Rwanda. Using literature, film, photography, and memorialisation, she demonstrates that we can only understand the Holocaust's status as a 'benchmark' for other genocides if we look at the deeper, structural resonances which subtly shape many representations of genocide. Representing Genocide pursues five thematic areas in turn: how genocides are recognised as such by western publics; the representation of the origins and perpetrators of genocide; how western witnesses represent genocide; representations of the aftermath of genocide; and western responses to genocide. Throughout, the book distinguishes between 'mainstream' and other, more nuanced and engaged, representations of genocide. It shows how these mainstream representations – the majority – largely replicate the representational framework of the Holocaust, including the way in which mainstream Holocaust representations resist recognising the rationality, instrumentality and normality of genocide, preferring instead to present it as an aberrant, exceptional event in human society. By contrast, the more engaged representations – often, but not always, originating from those who experienced genocide – tend to revolve around precisely genocide's ordinariness, and the structures and situations common to human society which contribute to and become involved in the violence. |
| la masseria delle allodole: Comparative Literature for the New Century Giulia De Gasperi, Joseph Pivato, 2018-09-30 Since its beginning, Comparative Literature has been characterized as a discipline in crisis. But its shifting boundaries are its strength, allowing for collaboration and growth and illuminating a path forward. In Comparative Literature for the New Century a diverse group of scholars argue for a distinct North American approach to literary studies that includes the promotion of different languages. Chapters by senior scholars such as George Elliott Clarke, E.D. Blodgett, and Sneja Gunew are placed in dialogue with those by younger scholars, including Dominique Hétu, Maria Cristina Seccia, and Ndeye Fatou Ba. The writers, many of whom are multilingual, discuss problems with translation, identity and belonging, the modern epic, the role of tradition, minority writing, Francophone and Anglophone novels in Africa, and politics in literature. Engaging with theory, history, media studies, psychology, translation studies, post-colonial studies, and gender studies, chapters exemplify how the knowledge and tools offered by Comparative Literature can be applied in reading, exploring, and understanding not only literary productions but also the world at large. Presenting some of the most current work being carried out by academics and scholars actively engaged in the field in Canada and abroad, Comparative Literature for the New Century promotes the value of Comparative Literature as an interdisciplinary study and assesses future directions it might take. Contributors include George Elliott Clarke (University of Toronto), Dominique Hétu (Alberta & Montreal), Monique Tschofen (Ryerson), Jolene Armstrong (Athabasca), E.D. Blodgett (Alberta), Ndeye Fatou Ba (Ryerson), Maria Cristina Seccia (Hull), Sneja Gunew (UBC), Deborah Saidero (Udine), Elizabeth Dahab (CSULB), Gaetano Rando (Wollongong), Anna Pia De Luca (Udine), Mark A. McCutcheon (Athabasca), Giulia De Gasperi (PEI), and Joseph Pivato (Athabasca). |
| la masseria delle allodole: Women and Genocide JoAnn DiGeorgio-Lutz, Donna Gosbee, 2016-04-25 Illuminating the unique experiences of women both during and after genocide, JoAnn DiGeorgio-Lutz and Donna Gosbee’s edited collection is a vital addition to genocide scholarship. The contributors revisit genocides of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, from Armenia in 1915 to Gujarat in 2002, examining the roles of women as victims, witnesses, survivors, and rescuers. The text underscores women’s experiences as a central yet often overlooked component to the understanding of genocide. Drawing from narratives, memoirs, testimonies, and literature, this groundbreaking volume brings together women’s stories of victimization, trauma, and survival. Each chapter is framed by a consistent methodology to allow for a comparative analysis, revealing the ways in which women’s experiences across genocides are similar and yet profoundly different. By looking at genocide from a gendered perspective, Women and Genocide constitutes an important contribution to feminist research on war and political violence. Featuring critical thinking questions and concise histories of each genocidal period discussed, this highly accessible text is an ideal resource for both students and instructors in this field and for anyone interested in the study of women’s lives in times of violence and conflict. |

| la masseria delle allodole: La cifra umana Nunzia D'Antuono, 2025-03-13 Peregrinazione, attraversamento del confine e rinascita sono cifre esistenziali della storia occidentale già da Enea, fondatore di un Impero che nell’immanenza della diversità aveva le ragioni della sua estensione e durata. Fin dal mondo classico, quindi, che ben conosceva scambi culturali e commerciali tra Oriente e Occidente, l’esilio e la narrazione, che si tramuta in educazione del nostro “stare al mondo”, sono i segni distintivi di tanti destini individuali e collettivi che hanno da sempre solcato l’Europa. Il secolo a noi più vicino, poi, ci ha consegnato le parabole di vita di tanti che hanno dovuto abbandonare la propria casa per ricominciare altrove, «costretti a linguaggi presi a prestito, trascinati dal vento» (Zweig). Il volume, analizzando numerosi testi che vanno da Elias Canetti ad Albert Camus, da Tzvetan Todorov ad Hannah Arendt, da Antonia Arslan ad Agota Kristof, tenta di offrire occasioni di riflessione pedagogica sulla figura dell’altro che, percepito come nemico, troppo spesso è costretto a fuggire per salvarsi. Le dualità, il movimento e la molteplicità raccontano in questo viaggio narrativo anche l’esilio che ci abita perché “gli altri vivono in noi e noi viviamo in loro”. L’inedito immaginario interculturale, quindi, offre anche ai più giovani un itinerario fra “storie” inusuali e stimolanti che incoraggiano l’empatia e il dialogo costruttivo tra culture, e forniscono gli strumenti per approcciarsi con consapevolezza alla complessa sfida dell’interculturalità. |

| la masseria delle allodole: The History of Genocide in Cinema Jonathan Friedman, William Hewitt, 2016-10-27 The organization 'Genocide Watch' estimates that 100 million civilians around the globe have lost their lives as a result of genocide in only the past sixty years. Over the same period, the visual arts in the form of documentary footage has aided international efforts to document genocide and prosecute those responsible, but this book argues that fictional representation occupies an equally important and problematic place in the process of shaping minds on the subject. Edited by two of the leading experts in the field, The History of Genocide in Cinema analyzes fictional and semi-fictional portrayals of genocide, focusing on, amongst others, the repression of indigenous populations in Australia, the genocide of Native Americans in the 19th century, the Herero genocide, Armenia, the Holodomor (Stalin's policy of starvation in Ukraine), the Nazi Holocaust, Nanking and Darfur. Comprehensive and unique in its focus on fiction films, as opposed to documentaries, The History of Genocide in Cinema is an essential resource for students and researchers in the fields of cultural history, holocaust studies and the history of film. |
| la masseria delle allodole: Los condenados de la tierra Mariano Mestman , Alberto Filippi , 2022-12-05 Entre 1966 y 1968 el cineasta italiano Valentino Orsini y el filósofo italiano-venezolano Alberto Filippi realizaron la película I dannati della terra (Los condenados de la tierra), inspirada en el libro homónimo del revolucionario afrocaribeño Frantz Fanon, que se había hecho famoso por el prólogo de Jean Paul Sartre. Rodada entre Italia y África, la película fue producida por la cooperativa Ager Film, fundada en Roma por Giuliani De Negri y que en aquellos años editó otros largometrajes memorables como I sovversivi, de los hermanos Vittorio y Paolo Taviani y La hora de los hornos, de Octavio Getino y Fernando Solanas. I dannati della terra es un ensayo cinematográfico de intervención sobre la necesidad ética y política de hacer la revolución, una revolución que abarque tanto al Tercer Mundo como a Europa. Recorre la historia de la intensa amistad entre el cineasta militante de la izquierda italiana Fausto Morelli y su alumno, el joven fanoniano Abramo Malonga, así como sus conversaciones sobre las luchas de liberación africanas que tienen lugar a partir del documental legado por Malonga, al morir prematuramente, a su maestro Morelli para que concluya su largometraje. Proyectado en el Contrafestival de Venecia de 1968, el film postula una “hipótesis abierta” centrada en una audaz alegoría final sobre la violencia del poder, la cual afronta temas cruciales que preceden y anuncian los debates del 68. Medio siglo después, Mariano Mestman y Alberto Filippi se han dedicado a recuperar esta película, mucho tiempo olvidada, y a reconstruir el contexto cultural y político en la cual fue concebida, así como los debates que suscitó. Este volumen recoge la documentación y los diferentes escritos en ocasión del film, que se ha vuelto de incuestionable actualidad por el creciente conflicto entre el Sur global y Occidente, en este dramático inicio de milenio. |

| la masseria delle allodole: Italian Film Directors in the New Millennium William Hope, 2020-05-22 This collection of essays examines the themes and styles that characterize the new millennium work of Italian film directors from different generations. These artists range from Marco Bellocchio, Dario Argento, Marco Tullio Giordana, and Nanni Moretti, who made their name in the 1960s and 1970s, to Oscar winners such as Gabriele Salvatores who forged their careers in the late 1980s. The volume also features essays on Ciprì and Maresco, Emanuele Crialese, Cristina Comencini, as well as work on successful new millennium directors such as Paolo Sorrentino and Matteo Garrone whose controversial films examine the nature of interpersonal relations and the individual’s rapport with Italian society today. The essays illustrate the way in which contrasting images of Italy and its provinces emerge in the work of different directors; what links new millennium Italian screen protagonists, film directors, and even individual spectators is often a sense of being at the centre of oppressively converging social, economic, and political forces and having diminishing opportunities and space for self-realization. The contributors to the volume are academics who have also worked as film critics, visual artists, film industry administrators, and, indeed, as film-makers, and the book’s foreword has been written by Geoffrey Nowell-Smith. |
| la masseria delle allodole: Los derechos humanos en el cine Benjamín Rivaya, 2024-04-10 Desde su origen, el cine ha sido un medio para transmitir importantes cuestiones de la humanidad, desde los asuntos más cotidianos hasta los temas sociales más complejos. La presente obra tiene la intención de demostrar cómo el tema de los derechos humanos ha estado presente en el mundo de la gran pantalla. Sus objetivos son, en primer lugar, analizar la presencia de los derechos humanos en la narración cinematográfica, haciendo inevitablemente una reflexión tanto sobre el cine como sobre los derechos humanos, y la manera en la que ambos se relacionan. El segundo objetivo es más bien 'pedagógico', pues busca enseñar al lector a ver cine, en el sentido de hacerlo consciente de los elementos ideológicos que se encuentran insertos en el discurso fílmico, sobre los cuales muchas veces no somos conscientes. El tercer objetivo, vinculado con el anterior, es la reivindicación del uso del cine en la enseñanza, siendo imprescindible que, en un mundo audiovisual como el nuestro, se eduque con y sobre el cine. Una obra que despertará una mirada distinta sobre el séptimo arte tanto en el lector curioso como en el lector jurista o cinéfilo. |
| la masseria delle allodole: El documental de arte en España José Javier Aliaga Cárceles, Joaquín Cánovas Belchi, 2023-01-23 Durante las primeras décadas del siglo xx, el arte, las ciudades y los monumentos más emblemáticos de la geografía española comenzaron a recibir una especial atención por parte de la cinematografía, que contribuyó a su difusión, promoción y conocimiento entre la sociedad del momento. La evolución natural de este fenómeno culminó con la gestación de un género cinematográfico con personalidad: el documental de arte. Coincidiendo con la edad de oro del mismo a nivel internacional, en los años del franquismo, el cine español se sumó con sus aportaciones a proponer nuevas vías de tratamiento, análisis e interpretación del arte. Desde entonces y hasta la actualidad, el documental de arte en nuestro país ha conocido nuevos escenarios mediáticos para su desarrollo más allá del ámbito cinematográfico, en los que la televisión y los museos han sido determinantes incluso en la propia transformación de este género audiovisual. El propósito del que parte esta obra, por tanto, es el de proporcionar al lector una mirada poliédrica en torno al documental de arte español, no sólo desde el punto de vista histórico, sino también a través del estudio de obras concretas o de la filmografía de importantes documentalistas que han cultivado el género, a partir de aproximaciones y metodologías muy diversas que abarcan desde los contextos de producción hasta sus modos de representación, sus fronteras discursivas con otros registros audiovisuales como el film-ensayo o el videoarte, los tratamientos temáticos o las relaciones entre el cine, la televisión y los museos con la historia del arte. |
| la masseria delle allodole: Los Grandes Directores de Cine Jean A. Gili, 2008 Una obra que reúna todos aquellos realizadores que han escrito páginas memorables en la historia del cine. No es tarea fácil recopilar la trayectoria de los directores esenciales del universo cinematográfico. Y es que hoy en día a nadie se le escapa ya la gran influencia que ha ejercido el cine en nuestra vida. Por eso, es de suma importancia tener a nuestro alcance una obra que trata de reunir a aquellos realizadores en posesión de un estatus de autor que hubieran desarrollado su propia concepción del cine y una expresión cinematográfica original. De Tim Burton a Charlie Chaplin, de Stanley Kubrick a Fritz Lang, de Federico Fellini a Yasujiro Ozu, de Jean Renoir a Woody Allen y Orson Welles este libro propone a todos los cinéfilos una selección de 200 realizadores que han escrito la historia del cine. Una obra que rinde homenaje a los cineastas que filman como respiran, para retomar la expresión de François Truffaut refiriéndose a Jean-Luc Godard. Todo ello sin olvidar a los realizadores que en España, y en ocasiones, en situaciones muy difíciles, han conseguido crear un universo particular alejado de estereotipos y modas: Buñuel, Bardem, Berlanga, Saura, Almodóvar, Trueba y Amenábar son nombres que no podían faltar en esta lista. |
| la masseria delle allodole: Mamoulian David Luhrssen, 2013-01-25 An Armenian national raised in Russia, Rouben Mamoulian (1897–1987) studied in the influential Stanislavski studio, renowned as the source of the method acting technique. Shortly after immigrating to New York in 1926, he created a sensation with an all-black production of Porgy (1927). He then went on to direct the debut Broadway productions of three of the most popular shows in the history of American musical theater: Porgy and Bess (1935), Oklahoma! (1943), and Carousel (1945). Mamoulian began working in film just as the sound revolution was dramatically changing the technical capabilities of the medium, and he quickly established himself as an innovator. Not only did many of his unusual camera techniques become standard, but he also invented a device that eliminated the background noises created by cameras and dollies. Seen as a rebel earlier in his career, Mamoulian gradually gained respect in Hollywood, and the Directors Guild of America awarded him the prestigious D. W. Griffith Award for Lifetime Achievement in 1983. In this meticulously researched biography, David Luhrssen paints the influential director as a socially conscious artist who sought to successfully combine art and commercial entertainment. Luhrssen not only reveals the fascinating personal story of an important yet neglected figure, but he also offers a tantalizing glimpse into the extraordinarily vibrant American film and theater industries during the twenties, thirties, and forties. |

Un viaggio che si snoda tra farina e poesia, tra impasti e sintassi, tra idilli e lieviti, alla ricerca dei mille simbolismi, dei mille significati di un prodotto umano, umanissimo, frutto dell'incontro tra Natura e Cultura. Pane cantato, pane invocato, pane pensato, pane sognato. Pane dalle mille metafore. È pane della civiltà, è pane dell'esilio, è pane della rivolta, è pane della diaspora, è pane della nostalgia, è pane dei Vinti. Da Omero a Dante Alighieri, da Manzoni a Verga, dalla Deledda agli autori del realismo novecentesco, si è andata delineando una vera e propria epopea del pane. |
| la masseria delle allodole: Per tutti, la più bella Fausto Beretta, 2015-09-01 Fausto Beretta è nato e vive a Bussero (MI). Ha iniziato a scrivere Poesie durante il servizio militare nella noia della branda o nelle serate perse in punizione. Lo muoveva allora tanta rabbia e l’atmosfera di ribellione del 68. Terminato il servizio militare la vena poetica lasciava il posto alla forte passione per il teatro che lo accompagnava già dall’infanzia... per ritornare inaspettata dieci anni dopo. Scopriva allora che la poesia era un mezzo di comunicazione con se stesso mentre il teatro era un mezzo di comunicazione con il suo ambiente. Nel frattempo, nel ruolo di regista, portava in scena con il Gruppo Teatro Bussero, di cui era uno dei fondatori, alcuni suoi testi teatrali: “Naia cara naia”, “Incontri sulla strada (ovvero da Beckett a Brecht attraversando il Gruppo Teatro Bussero)” e “Su nell’immensità del cielo”, un dramma tratto dal racconto “Niente più niente al mondo” di Massimo Carlotto che veniva premiato, al Torneo Nazionale di Drammaturgia APPLAUSI 2010, con medaglia del Presidente della Repubblica Italiana, nonché testi di autori contemporanei quali Luigi Lunari, Edoardo Erba, Aldo Nicolaj, Juan Rodolfo Wilcock, Mino Bellei ed altri ancora. Teatro e poesia affiancati avevano per lui la medesima attrazione. Avvertiva però che mentre nel teatro poteva mascherarsi, nella poesia non gli era permesso. “Io scivolo sotto la pelle della mia poesia, dove mi tengo al caldo, e impedisco al mondo di penetrarvi.” (Alain Bosquet – Da aforismi sulla poesia di Piero Colonna Romano sul sito Poetare) Allora poesia perché? poesia per chi? Per tanti anni ha cercato di capire cosa è una poesia: fra le tante definizioni aggiunge la sua “un anelito dell’anima imprigionato, irripetibile ... che vuole voce, che vuole essere liberato con musicalità e grazia. Ma...” aggiunge “...anche quando si riesce a dargli voce ci si accorge che è solo un pezzetto liberato del nostro dentro infinito”. Allora poesia come ricerca di se stessi e di tutto quello che ci circonda e dentro ci muove. Poesia per curiosità... e per imparare. Poesia per gli amici-amici come curiosità e regalo. Poesia per l’occasionale sconosciuto lettore che può trovare in essa risonanze. |

| la masseria delle allodole: An Inconvenient Genocide Geoffrey Robertson, 2014-10-16 The most controversial question that is still being asked about the First World War - was there an Armenian genocide? - will come to a head on 24 April 2015, when Armenians worldwide will commemorate its centenary and Turkey will deny that it took place, claiming that the deaths of over half of the Armenian race were justified. This has become a vital international issue. Twenty national parliaments in democratic countries have voted to recognise the genocide, but Britain and the USA continue to equivocate for fear of alienating their NATO ally. Geoffrey Robertson QC condemns this hypocrisy, and in An Inconvenient Genocide he proves beyond reasonable doubt that the horrific events in the Ottoman Empire in 1915 constitute the crime against humanity that is today known as genocide. He explains how democracies can deal with genocide denial without infringing free speech, and makes a major contribution to understanding and preventing this worst of all crimes. His renowned powers of advocacy are on full display as he condemns all those - from Sri Lanka to the Sudan, from Old Anatolia to modern Syria and Iraq - who try to justify the mass murder of children and civilians in the name of military necessity or religious fervour. |
| la masseria delle allodole: La Turchia bussa alla porta Carlo Marsili, 2011-03-11T00:00:00+01:00 Anche per via della lingua - sconosciuta a pressoch tutti gli italiani (non si dice alternativamente parlo arabo? o parlo turco?) - la Turchia resta nel nostro immaginario collettivo un paese in gran parte sconosciuto, affidato a luoghi comuni fuorvianti. Chi meglio di Carlo Marsili, ambasciatore in Turchia dal 2004 al 2010, ha le carte in regola per farci scoprire questo paese e le sue contraddizioni? Dalle minoranze etniche alla condizione femminile; dalle contraddizioni dell'islamismo moderato alla questione armena; dalla stratificazione sociale alla classe politica e ai partiti; ai mezzi di comunicazione e alla lotta per la libertà di stampa, al ruolo dell'esercito e alla politica interna ed estera; sino ai capitoli finali, dedicati a come i turchi vedono gli europei, allo sviluppo economico, e alla presenza italiana: ricco di aneddoti ed episodi vissuti in prima persona, il libro dà finalmente un quadro realistico e privo di pregiudizi della Turchia d'oggi. E ci spiega anche perché un'Unione Europea senza la Turchia sarebbe inevitabilmente destinata a un ruolo di secondo rango rispetto non solo a Stati Uniti e Cina, ma anche a India, Brasile e altre potenze emergenti. |

| la masseria delle allodole: A Soldier on the Southern Front Emilio Lussu, 2014-02-25 A rediscovered World War I masterpiece—one of the few memoirs about the Italian front—for fans of military history and All Quiet on the Western Front An infantryman’s “harrowing, moving, [and] occasionally comic” account of trench warfare on the alpine front seen in A Farewell to Arms (Times Literary Supplement). Taking its place alongside works by Ernst JŸnger, Robert Graves, and Erich Maria Remarque, Emilio Lussu’s memoir as an infantryman is one of the most affecting accounts to come out of the First World War. A classic in Italy but virtually unknown in the English-speaking world, it reveals in spare and detached prose the almost farcical side of the war as seen by a Sardinian officer fighting the Austrian army on the Asiago plateau in northeastern Italy—the alpine front so poignantly evoked by Ernest Hemingway in A Farewell to Arms. For Lussu, June 1916 to July 1917 was a year of continuous assaults on impregnable trenches, absurd missions concocted by commanders full of patriotic rhetoric and vanity but lacking in tactical skill, and episodes often tragic and sometimes grotesque, where the incompetence of his own side was as dangerous as the attacks waged by the enemy. A rare firsthand account of the Italian front, Lussu’s memoir succeeds in staging a fierce indictment of the futility of war in a dry, often ironic style that sets his tale wholly apart from the Western Front of Remarque and adds an astonishingly modern voice to the literature of the Great War. |
