DODICI RACCONTI : DINO BUZZATI
All these short stories have in common that they are coloured by a absurdist humor. Each story tells about a situation, that is presented as a normal event with persons acting also very normally. But step by step the stories evolve to completely absurd situations, but however absurd the situations are, the persons involved (frequently the narrator of the story himself) keep on acting in what seems to be to them the only logical way to act. This absurdist logic makes the reader smile and even laugh while he’s absorbed in this logic. The psychological analysis of the antagonists of the stories is fine and well situated in the spirit of the times and in the environment (the city of Milano).

Molto bello, Dino Buzzati è un grande artista, ottimo da leggere in francese con la traduzione a fianco in Italiano per chi sta imparando la lingua

J’ai adoré le style de ces nouvelles. Si fluide. Et l’esprit: un regard proche aux petites choses de la vie , et en même temps détaché et avec beaucoup de deuxième degré ou de mystère.

Pas fini, faut déjà avoir un bon niveau d’italien pour comprendre sans trop regarder la traduction en français.

Non parlo meglio l'italiano.
En vrai le livre est bien foutu et les nouvelles sont respectent bien le cycle classique du genre avec des chutes étranges et tordus.
