Genre


Gavino Ledda (born December 30, 1938) is an author and a scholar of the Italian language and of Sardinian. He is best known for his autobiographical work Padre padrone (1975).

Ledda was born in Siligo, in the Province of Sassari, Sardinia, into a poor family of shepherds. Gavino's father made him leave school at the age of six, when he was only in the first year of his primary school education. Bursting into the classroom in the middle of a lesson, Ledda's father justified his position by saying that he needed the boy's help for his agricultural work, as Gavino was his eldest son. In scenes that feature in Padre padrone, he went on to say that school was a luxury that poor shepherds could not afford, and demanded that his son be handed over

“اگر تنت سالم و نیرومند باشد و به سن قانونی رسیده باشی، هیچ چیز نمی تواند جلوت را بگیرد. ماندنت به معنی این است که به زندگی گیاهی ادامه بدهی، با زحمت و مشقت، مثل علف یا درختی که بازیگوشی باد دانه اش را در زمین نامناسبی کاشته و آن را به زندگی دردآلود نامساعد محکوم کرده باشد. در این بیشه ی ناخرم خودت را مثل آن بوته هایی حس می کنی که بالای دیوار و در کمرکش پرتگاه، در وضعیت غیرطبیعی و رقت انگیز، سبز شده اند و گاهی به این طرف و آن طرف آویزان اند، دستخوش ضربه ها و تکان های بادی اند که بازیگوشانه تخمشان را در آن جای نامساعد کاشته اند.”
Gavino Ledda, Padre padrone

“اتحاد قوت می آورد.”
Gavino Ledda, Padre padrone

“Con volontà rozza, animalesca, ma inflessibile le mie dita, callose e storte dalla zappa, per la prima volta ebbero l'opportunità di esprimere, alle querce secolari, la sensibilità di generazioni e generazioni mai educate alla musica. E attraverso le mie dita l'uomo delle caverne, ancora intatto dentro di me, ma sensibile in tutta la sua umanità, incominciava a raddolcirsi con la musica: a scavare dentro di sé e a scoprire che al di là dei suoi campi il mondo non finiva con l'orizzonte e che la miniera delle sue risorse sconfinava da quel cielo che fino allora conosceva.”
Gavino Ledda, Padre padrone
