Short description: "Cosima" tells the story of an aspiring writer growing up in Nuoro, Sardinia during the last decades of the nineteenth century when formal education for women was rare and literary careers unheard-of. Based on Deledda’s own life, the work describes a young woman’s struggle against the dismay and disapproval of her family and friends at her creative ambitions. Yet it also reads like a charming fable with details of family life, rural traditions and wild bandits, and it is as much a novel of memory as of character or action. Deledda’s characters are poor country folk driven by some predetermined force. Their loves are tragic, their lives as hard and as rigidly controlled as nature itself in the hills of Sardinia. Deledda creates memorable figures who play out their lives against this backdrop of mountains and bare plains, sheepfolds and vineyards. Shimmering in the distance is the sea and escape — for a few — to the Continent or America. In 1926 Grazia Deledda became the second woman and the second Italian to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. She wrote thirty-three novels, including "Reeds in the Wind," and many books of short stories, almost all set on Sardinia. Her work has become well known to English-speaking readers through Martha King’s translations for Italica Press.

History

BiblioLife

The Mother is an unusual book, both in its story and its setting in a remote Sardinian hill village, half civilized and superstitious. But the chief interest lies in the psychological study of the two chief characters, and the action of the story takes place so rapidly (all within the space of two days) and the actual drama is so interwoven with the mental conflict, and all so forced by circumstances, that it is almost Greek in its simple and inevitable tragedy.   The book is written without offence to any creed or opinions, and touches on no questions of either doctrine or Church government. It is just a human problem, the result of primitive human nature against man-made laws it cannot understand.

Maria Grazia Cosima Deledda è nata a Nuoro, penultima di sei figli, in una famiglia benestante, il 27 settembre 1871. E’ stata la seconda donna a vincere il Premio Nobel per la letteratura, nel 1926. Morirà a Roma, all'età di 64 anni, il 15 agosto 1936.  Il romanzo "Cosima" è basato sulla vita della stessa Deledda. Racconta la storia di una giovane donna, aspirante scrittrice, che cresce nella Sardegna della fine del XIX secolo, quando l'istruzione per le donne era rara e  una carriera letteraria addirittura inaudita. "Cosima" descrive la lotta contro lo sgomento e la disapprovazione della sua famiglia e delle amiche verso le sue ambizioni creative. Ma si legge anche come una favola affascinante con i dettagli della vita familiare, le tradizioni rurali, il banditismo, tanto come un romanzo della memoria che di formazione o d'azione.  Nel libro la biografia dell'autrice ed una nota sulla sua poetica.
