Vite da cani

Rate this book
Da Turgenev a Pirandello, da Maupassant a Jack London, da Edith Wharton a Kipling, molti grandi scrittori hanno celebrato l'animale domestico che da più tempo vive insieme all'uomo. Intelligenti, curiosi, coraggiosi, fedeli, romantici, ma anche permalosi e pasticcioni, i cani sono protagonisti (o comprimari) di pagine memorabili sia per gli appassionati di letteratura sia per i cinofili. I racconti di questa antologia appartengono ai generi più diversi: il comico, il fantastico, il surreale, il gotico, il sentimentale, il fiabesco, l'horror... E provocano in chi legge una gamma di emozioni sorprendentemente vasta. Ma una cosa è certa: i cani di cui parlano non deludono mai e, alla fine, hanno sempre la meglio su ogni avversità.

About the author

Ivan Turgenev

1,832 books2,757 followers
Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (Cyrillic: Иван Сергеевич Тургенев) was a novelist, poet, and dramatist, and now ranks as one of the towering figures of Russian literature. His major works include the short-story collection A Sportsman’s Sketches (1852) and the novels Rudin (1856), Home of the Gentry (1859), On the Eve (1860), and Fathers and Sons (1862).

These works offer realistic, affectionate portrayals of the Russian peasantry and penetrating studies of the Russian intelligentsia who were attempting to move the country into a new age. His masterpiece, Fathers and Sons, is considered one of the greatest novels of the nineteenth century.

Turgenev was a contemporary with Fyodor Dostoevsky and Leo Tolstoy. While these wrote about church and religion, Turgenev was more concerned with the movement toward social reform in Russia.
