DESCRIPTION - Long recognized as one of modern Italy's major writers, Elsa Morante won renewed acclaim in 1977 with the publication of her sweeping book about World War II, HISTORY: A NOVEL. Now, in her most important work to date, a novel of even greater emotional intensity and lyric power, she delves into the consciousness of one solitary, troubled individual to create an indelible image of contemporary man that stands among the great fictional achievements of our day. Her protagonist is Emanuele, a lonely man who makes his meager living in a Milan publishing house, and who spends his unoccupied hours in the pursuit of young men who cannot return his adoration. As Emanuele narrates with great feeling and insight the story of his impossible-seeming search for his mother's birthplace in the parched landscape of southern Spain, he gradually uncovers a fascinating and bizarre truth about his childhood in Fascist Italy. His mother's name, Aracoeli ('Altar of Heaven' in Latin), is typical of the fervent piety of rural Andalusia where she was born. A woman of great beauty and great religious conviction, she is utterly devoted to Emanuele's father an officer in the Italian Royal Navy, who, like her, has the greatest respect for order, authority and duty. Emanuele grows up in a large, shadowy apartment in the Heights, an affluent Fascist neighborhood in Rome. He is passionately attached to his mother, who, like him, is a stranger, an outsider, in her husband's family. Their great hero in common is his namesake, Aracoeli's adored brother Manuel, who dies in the Spanish Civil War. But Emanuele's intimate bond with Aracoeli is strained by her second pregnancy and by the birth of a baby girl. When the child dies, Aracoeli has a severe breakdown and her behavior undergoes a radical transformation. Her reserve and dignity give way to insatiable, indiscriminate desire; soon she leaves her family behind, and Emanuele's fragile world is shattered forever. Vivid, relentless, beautiful and sometimes terrifying, ARACOELI, which has been translated with consummate artistry by William Weaver, is a work of enormous power. In scene after stunning scene, Elsa Morante evokes the tensions of daily life in Italy under Fascism, through the distorting crystal of Emanuele's memory. This is a cry from the heart - piercing, corrosive and unforgettable: a brilliant summing-up by one of the world's great living writers. inventory #353 Very Good in Dustjacket.
