Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A powerful World War II novel about a young soldier joining the anti-German resistance in occupied Italy, this classic, which touches on everything from wartime dangers and adventures to desperate love, is regarded as one of the greatest works of twentieth-century Italian literature.Beppe Fenoglio's A Private Affair is one of the great books of the Second World War and a masterpiece of modern Italian literature. Milton is the nom de guerre of the book's protagonist, a one-time student of English literature who, in the chaotic last years of the war, has joined a partisan band. Before the war, gangly Milton was in love with the beautiful Fulvia-she let him read poetry to her- and now he hears that a friend and fellow partisan, the handsome Giorgio, was sleeping with her at the time. Jealous and furious, Milton hastens to confront Giorgio, only to discover that he has been captured by the Germans. A Private Affair tells the story of Milton's mad quest-pursued through mud and fog and rain and terror, while barely evading German and fascist patrols-to rescue his friend and settle a personal grudge from a lost world of peace. Italo Calvino praised the book for the "geometric tension" between its themes of love and war and for its unsettling and utterly persuasive mingling of absurdity and mystery. The British novelist Paul Bailey has called the novel's closing pages "superb and superbly exciting." A Private Affair is a peerless story of the violent heart and world.

Couverture souple. Condition: Comme neuf. 2ème Édition. 224 pages, dans la collection "Letteratura", traduction de l'italien par Monique Baccelli. Quatrième de couverture : "Résistant, comme poète, est un mot absolu, écrivit un jour Beppe Fenoglio, qui se rêvait soldat dans l'armée idéale de Cromwell, avec la Bible dans sa musette et son fusil en bandoulière et qui dut en partage affronter la sordide réalité du fascisme. Au croisement de l'autobiographie, du témoignage et de l'aventure romanesque, "Le Printemps du guerrier", livre d'hommes et de paysages en guerre, relate avec une exigence morale sans faille et à travers les nobles yeux de Johnny - jeune recrue piémontaise - la déroute pathétique de l'armée royale italienne ; le gris-vert de l'occupation allemande et les rumeurs du débarquement allié ; Rome ville ouverte, Mussolini à Salò et le maquis pour la Résistance. Beppe Fenoglio est né à Albe (Piémont) en 1922. C'est dans cette région que "le plus solitaire de nous tous", comme le désignait Calvino, écrira les trois romans publiés de son vivant - Les "Vingt-trois jours de la ville d'Albe", "Le Mauvais sort" et "Le Printemps du guerrier". Il meurt prématurément à l'âge de 41 ans. Son oeuvre, largement posthume, est aujourd'hui considérée comme l'une des plus importantes de la littérature italienne d'après-guerre.". Livre.
