Grazia Maria Cosima Damiana Deledda was an Italian writer who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1926 "for her idealistically inspired writings which with plastic clarity picture the life on her native island [i.e. Sardinia] and with depth and sympathy deal with human problems in general". She was the first Italian woman to receive the prize, and only the second woman in general after Selma Lagerlöf was awarded hers in 1909.

Marianna et Simone, Roméo et Juliette version Sardaigne du début du 20e siècle. J'ai cru comprendre que ca se voulait un livre féministe à l'époque, et on comprends pourquoi. Marianna se laisse decidemment pas faire par son père, l'église, la société quand elle tombe amoureuse du domestique qu'elle veut épouser. Ça fait comme une pièce de théatre à lire, avec de belles descriptions d'émotions et de paysages. Mais c'est lent, pas grand chose qui se passe et les clichés de la femme qui attend son homme vieillissent mal.

Non avevo mai letto niente di Grazia Deledda e mi ha entusiasmato. Mi è piaciuta la storia, come è collocata nel contesto del brigantaggio. Mi sono piaciuti i personaggi, tutti, ma Marianna è estremamente affascinante. La teoria d' amore l'ho trovata carica di erotismo . E che dire del rapporto fra il paesaggio e l' anima...
