Inhaltsangabe

In quel tempo ci piaceva il giuoco dei poveri: cioè fingere di essere realmente poveri, di aspettare il soccorso del prossimo e, se occorreva, andare ad elemosinarlo. Il fatto dipendeva dalla morte serena e improvvisa di una vecchia mendicante che da mezzo secolo viveva in una specie di legnaia in fondo al nostro orticello. Avrebbe dovuto pagarne il fitto - quindici soldi al mese - ma se n'era andata con tutti gli arretrati; e mio padre anzi pagò i funerali. - Troveremo poi il gruzzolo che deve aver lasciato nascosto in qualche buco - egli disse; ma non si aveva mai il tempo, né la voglia e neppure l'illusione di trovarlo davvero.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Deledda was born in Nuoro, Sardinia, into a middle-class family, to Giovanni Antonio Deledda and Francesca Cambosu, as the fourth of seven siblings. She attended elementary school (the minimum required at the time) and was then educated by a private tutor (a guest of one of her relatives) and moved on to study literature on her own. It was during this time that she started displaying an interest in writing short novels, mostly inspired by the life of Sardinian peasants and their struggles. Her teacher encouraged her to submit her writing to a newspaper and, at age 13, her first story was published in a local journal. Some of Deledda's early works were published in the fashion magazine L'ultima moda between 1888 and 1889. In 1890 Trevisani published Nell'azzurro (Into the Blue), her first collection of short stories. Deledda's main focus was the representation of poverty and the struggles associated with it through a combination of imaginary and autobiographical elements. Her family wasn't particularly supportive of her desire to write.
