Sinossi
Pietra miliare della letteratura americana, Furore è un romanzo mitico che nell'odissea della famiglia Joad, sfrattata dalla sua casa e dalla sua terra, in penosa marcia verso la California, lungo la Route 66 come migliaia e migliaia di americani, rivive la trasformazione di un'intera nazione. L'impatto amaro con la terra promessa dove la manodopera è sfruttata e mal pagata, dove ciascuno porta con sé la propria miseria "come un marchio d'infamia". Insieme romanzo di viaggio e ritratto epico della lotta dell'uomo contro l'ingiustizia, Furore è forse il più americano dei classici americani, da leggere oggi nella traduzione basata sul testo inglese della Centennial Edition dell'opera di Steinbeck, che restituisce ai lettori la forza e la modernità della scrittura del Premio Nobel per la Letteratura 1962.. Furore è forse il più americano dei classici americani, da leggere oggi per la prima volta in tutta la sua bellezza. Titolo originale: The Grapes of Wrath (1939).

Whenever I revisit a classic I'm struck by how much more I get out of it now than I did when I was 24 or 19 or, God forbid, 15. Giving a book like the Grapes of Wrath to a 15 year old serves largely to put them off fine literature for the rest of their lives. The depth of understanding and compassio Leggi tutto
This is another review-as-I-go, which helps me capture my thoughts of the moment, before I forget them! One thing that strikes me in these early pages is Steinbeck's technique of focusing on things that are supposedly "tangential" to the main narrative of the Joad family but yet are central to their Leggi tutto
