Poesie a Casarsa. Il primo libro di Pasolini
"Poesie a Casarsa", libro tra i più rari e 'leggendari' del '900 italiano, meritava da tempo di essere riproposto proprio nella forma originaria che Pasolini volle dargli per il suo esordio poetico. Il volume fu pubblicato nel 1942 dalla Libreria Antiquaria Mario Landi a spese dell'autore, in una tiratura di 300 copie su carta vergata, numerate, oltre a 75 copie per la stampa. Questa nuova edizione, promossa dal Centro Studi Pier Paolo Pasolini di Casarsa, è stata realizzata in edizione tipografica, in 500 copie, stampata dalla Tipografia Campi Monotype 1898 di Milano, con il carattere Bodoni 135. Edizione di pregio su carta a mano Amatruda di Amalfi. L'opera è accompagnata da "Il primo libro di Pasolini", volume a cura di Franco Zabagli che racconta le vicende della composizione e della fortuna di "Poesie a Casarsa", illustrato da fotografie e riproduzioni di autografi, e con un'antologia di testimonianze e di recensioni.

About the author
Pier Paolo Pasolini
375 books858 followersItalian poet, novelist, critic, essayst, journalist, translator, dramatist, film director, screenwriter and philosopher, often regarded as one of the greatest minds of XX century, was murdered violently in Rome in 1975 in circumstances not yet been clarified. Pasolini is best known outside Italy for his films, many of which were based on literary sources - The Gospel According to Saint Matthew, The Decameron, The Canterbury Tales...
Pasolini referred himself as a 'Catholic Marxist' and often used shocking juxtapositions of imagery to expose the vapidity of values in modern society.
His essays and newspaper articles often critized the capitalistic omologation and also often contributed to public controversies which had made him many enemies. In the weeks leading up to his murder he had condemned Italy's political class for its corruption, for neo-fascist terrorist conspiracy and for collusion with the Mafia and the infamous "Propaganda 2" masonic lodge of Licio Gelli and Eugenio Cefis.
His friend, the writer Alberto Moravia, considered him "the major Italian poet" of the second half of the 20th century.

July 30, 2025Ha sido un regalo de Emilio.
Es muy chulo, el libro es tres veces los poemas de Pasolini en tres idiomas distintos (es decir, cada poema viene unas 9 veces).
creo que es un libro que cuando quiera estudiar poesía en serio ojeare porque da muchas claves de como escribir un poema (indirectamente) al ver cómo va evolucionando la poesía de uno de los mejores.
