Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Antonio Fogazzaro This book was planned and nearly finished before the war. I have hesitated to published it, because it belongs to another epoch - to a world from which we are separated by a tragic experience which has fundamentally altered our inner life and set us face to face with new problems, new passions, constraining us to a radical revision of our opinions and of all those spiritual values in accordance with which we had heretofore regulated our lives. While I was composing it the work was alive and real, because it dealt with unresolved spiritual conflicts, with unsolved problems, with affections and animosities that were still ardent. Suddenly the course of those traditions, of that life of which it formed a part, was shattered; the thread of our undertakings was severed and, all unprepared, we were hurled against a gigantic and terrible calamity. To-day, in resuming our interrupted studies, we look back upon the men and the controversies of yesterday with a sort of melancholy perplexity, as though, left stranded upon another shore, they were withdrawn from us for all time, and already belonged to another century. It is not the few years that have elapsed that divide us from them, but rather the nature of the events that have transpired. However, on reviewing this biography in the spirit of criticism - as is possible for one who views his work from a distance - I have reached the conclusion that, even should such readers as are impatient of retrospection discover, in certain passages, traces of mould and dust, the work nevertheless contains a human experience so rich as to render it worthy to soar above the frivolous curiosity of a public avid of those polemics that impassion for an hour or a day, and enter the calm sphere wherein dwells the student of those things that are of the soul.
