Giuseppe Antonio Borgese Diary Story Autobiography PilgrimSettore L-FIL-LET/11 - Letteratura Italiana Contemporanea

description

The five manuscript texts in Italian, written almost entirely in America, to which the writer from Polizzi Generosa entrusted his self-confidence, poetic and civic re-foundation, unfold over a chronological period from 1928 to 1935. We dwell on the intrinsic contamination between autobiography and invention that feeds Borgese’s writing in a web of literary, ethical, spiritual, philosophical and political ramifications. The contemporary reconfiguration of Borgese’s novelistic path in the volume “Il pellegrino appassionato” is also part of this perspective, investigated through the references in the diary to some of the novels that are most nourished by the fundamental themes of private self-investigation
