Lonely and vulnerable after his prison exile, he falls in love with Maddalena, his brother's fiancee. He finds himself trapped by social and religious strictures, his passion and guilt winding into a spiral of anguish and paralyzing indecision. For guidance he turns to the village priest, who advises him to resist temptation; then he turns to the pagan "father of the woods," who recognizes the weakness of human will and urges him to declare his love before it is too late.

Finally Elias chooses a course that provides a measure of redemption but forces him into a position from which he can only helphlessly observe the results of his affair.

El apego de Annesa a la familia es casi morboso; vive en Barunei como la hiedra que se atrapa al muro. Seguendo la storia di Efix e delle sue padrone, con le loro feste, le abitudini e i battibecchi, ho avuto una curiosa sensazione di timore e affetto, come quella che si avrebbe in casa di nonni premurosi ma molto severi. Travolti da un'insolito destino Un mondo lontano dove una storia lenta e quasi inesistente fa da sfondo alle particolareggiate descrizioni, quasi musicali, della gente, del cielo, della vegetazione, dei sapori e dei profumi di Sardegna.

Storie di paese, fatte di cose semplici, di caratteri forti e chiusi, di orgoglio, di isolamento, di non detto. Un libro molto importante sul peccato, sui rimorsi, sulla colpa e l'espiazione che sono stato molto contento di leggere, anche se non nego appartenga a un genere e un gusto abbastanza lontano dal mio.

Sep 09, Joseph Kugelmass rated it really liked it. Not only is it neglected, it's not summarized very well online, from what I've seen. Most of the summaries tend to portray the book as a depressing Christian parable about the hardships of life on Earth, perked up with a few colorful references to Sardinian folklore. Who in the world would actually want to read something like that? Fortunately, that's not Deledda. Reeds in the Wind is a subtle, tragicomic critique of Christian belief in Sardinia.

The characters are comedy mainstays: They are not really victims of fate, but whenever things go badly for them, they suddenly become pious. We must weep and be silent The Bible also keeps Sardinians from indulging in storytelling: She was beautiful and had a kingdom far away, with many gardens of figs and pomegranates and a palace all of gold. Others have to cry" This is not an injunction to be solemn, however; the novel is about "laughter and tears," mixed together as they are in the rough-and-tumble course of rural life.

The writing is frequently magnificent, and Deledda glides easily from lyrical prose, to hard-bitten minimalism, and back again. Although the novel reads quickly, and is not a "modernist" work, the style is often a comical echo of the exaggerated thoughts and reactions of the people.

At other moments, however, it is just flat-out gorgeous: And yet he had the impression of dreaming. Deledda is on par with other, much more famous chroniclers of village life, from Sholem Aleichem to Gabriel Garcia-Marquez. Her book is a delight. Grazia Deledda sa mettere l'amore per la sua terra nelle descrizioni dei paesaggi che si riempiono di luce e di colori, acqua che scorre, erba che cresce tra le pietre, canne che si flettono producendo fruscio, insetti che ronzano e fiori che sbocciano.

Questi squarci di Sardegna mi hanno ricordato una certa iconografia giapponese ma, a pensarci bene, gli stessi giapponesi sono isolani. E Oscar per la letteratura. Solitamente non commento mai un grande classico. Chi sono io per farlo. Mi limito a metterci delle stelle, che sono solo la cifra del mio privato gradimento. La folla non si decideva ad uscire, sebbene il prete avesse finito le sue orazioni, e continuava a cantare intonando le laudi sacre. Era come il mormorio lontano del mare, il muoversi della finestra al vespero: Purtroppo non posso dire lo stesso sulla narrazione delle vicende che mi ha lasciato piuttosto perplesso.

Provava un senso di attesa, di qualche cosa che ancora doveva succedere,- e intanto girava per il paese, si ubriacava di sole davanti alla porta della chiesa. Il villaggio bianco sotto i monti azzurri e chiari come fatti di marmo e d'aria, ardeva come una cava di calce: Mar 29, Laura rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: From BBC Radio 4: Grazia Deledda's powerful story of love, poverty, honour and retribution set in the rugged landscape of 's Sardinia.

Della Deledda mi porto dietro, fin dai tempi del liceo, una sensazione di pesantezza e lungaggine. La famiglia Pintor, i nobili, si disfa quando una delle figlie scappa a Civitavecchia. Ora rimangono solo tre so Della Deledda mi porto dietro, fin dai tempi del liceo, una sensazione di pesantezza e lungaggine.

Ora rimangono solo tre sorelle che vivono semirecluse, assistite dal servo Efix che ne diventa l'angelo custode. Sono a cambiamenti a creare problemi, e credo anche che Efix abbia peccato di hubris nel volersi ergere a protettore delle sue padrone, influenzandone le decisioni. Saranno state al vento, ma di qualcosa Grazia pur sempre si faceva. View all 5 comments. Sep 18, Inderjit Sanghera rated it it was amazing. From holes in the wooden roof rained oblique rays of silvery powder that fell on kneeling women And up, up, over the wide road the first gray, then white, then rosy; the dawn seemed to rise from the valley like red smoke inundating the fantastic peaks on the horizon Yet beneath this beauty lies a decaying town, a decaying family and a decaying society.

Some of the characters seem a little date, but are believable in the context of when and where the novel is set-from the irascible Giacinto, to the inflexible and indomitable Pintor sisters and the most human and complex character in the novel, the pathetic though kind-hearted servant Efix. Dio solo lo sa.

It is difficult and if destiny seems to be all powerful what is the role of God? The answer remains with God alone. But having God as the only solace is the only way open to an ordinary man to cope with the everyday sufferings. At times God alone does not suffice. So the man takes recourse to superstitious beliefs. He creates the other world of fairies, ghosts and gnomes. This is a story set in a Sardegnian village of the initial stage of the 20th century.

It was the time when Nobility was at its decadence and economy was setting the new standards. Everything of this is very graphically captured by Deledda in this novel. She presents the Sardegnian set up and the landscape in an inimitable style. The language is very evocative and makes visible everything of the landscape - be it the rough mountainous terrain, or the simple rising of the moon as the sun goes down, or the natural habitat with its flora and fauna, etc. Besides giving the landscape Deledda also introduces the readers to the socio-cultural ambiance of the then Sardegnian village.

Everything finds place in the book and they are presented not as to disturb the flow of the story but are very casually and naturally are interspersed in the story. There are also some interesting analysis of characters. A Lovely Book and it is with a heavy heart that I came out of the Sardegnian village as I completed reading the last pages.

I recommend you to take this trip to Sardegnian village of the early 20th century. Mar 18, Ruth rated it liked it.
