Brossura. Condition: new. Barrafranca, 2021; br., pp. 288, cm 14,5x14,5. Il romanzo dal taglio autobiografico descrive l'atmosfera politica del tempo e narra dei bombardamenti dell'Asse contro le isole maltesi durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale. L'opera è dotata di un'ampiezza stendhaliana che dipinge la realtà a grandi pennellate; delinea, con precisione e intensità, l'animo dei personaggi travolti dalla guerra e dagli spietati giochi di potere del tempo. Non solo, approfondisce temi di impegno politico: il fascismo, il nazismo, l'odio verso gli ebrei, il colonialismo inglese, il sogno di indipendenza. Ma la politica e la guerra rimangono sullo sfondo e il lettore le sente e le vede con gli occhi di Lorenz, il protagonista del romanzo. Ripercorrendo le varie fasi della guerra e le tensioni sociali della Malta prebellica, l'autore rivela - fatto storico poco noto - che la popolazione maltese diede sostegno a Mussolini, proprio a causa del malcontento diffuso dovuto al dominio britannico che da secoli gravava sull'isola. ĞAmore e morteğ, scrive Joseph Eynaud nella prefazione, Ğsono due temi fondamentali del romanzo, ma anche la frantumazione dell'io, come nel romanzo di Pirandello Uno, nessuno e centomila. I personaggi sono degli insicuri, dei ribelli senza causa. Sono individui chiusi in se stessi, timorosi del contatto, del peso del passato, ma anche del futuro. E questi sono temi sempre attuali che caratterizzano la spietata decadenza della nostra civiltàğ. Libro.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. pp: [x] [2] 3 - 243. Pictorial card covers. The first appearance of this novel by the Maltese author. The cover blurb is worth quoting. "His new powerful Malta novel of Fascist love, lust and intrigue and the brutal Nazi siege of the islands." Ebejer is perhaps best known for the more than fifty plays he wrote during the second half of the twentieth century. However, he also wrote seven novels. And this one is his fourth. This is a very good copy of a scarce book. There is moderate soiling, and edge wear, mainly at the corners. The binding is tight, free of reading creases. And, the text block is clean and without markings.
