Primavera

by Lilli Promet

Armastatud kirjaniku Lilli Prometi (1922–2007) üks kuulsaimaid teoseid «Primavera» (1971) kujutab enesest armastusromaani, mille sisuks on Itaalia-reis. Aeg jookseb läbi mineviku ja oleviku ning läbi inimeste silmade ja südamete, tegevust juhib fataalsus. Läbielatu taustal komponeerub kahe inimese kütkestav armastuslugu, milles keskses rollis on minategelane. Romaani muudab sisutihedaks peategelaste tunneteskaala sügavus, mille lisab eksootikat kevadine Itaalia. Minevikust esile kerkiv armastuslugu vihjab II maailmasõja aegse põlvkonna traagikale.

«Primavera» oli ilmumise ajal ligidal ärakeelamisele, kuid tõlgiti peagi ka mitmetesse võõrkeeltesse.
