Resumen de Romanzi e racconti di Anna Banti
Anna Banti has been considered by highly authoritative critics as one of the most important Italian writers of the twentieth century, but her refined, complex style has not facilitated popularity. In 2013 her best novels and short stories were assembled in the foremost collection of classic literature published in Italy, Mondadori’s I Meridiani series. This enabled the reading public to have renewed access to works that had been long unfindable. This essay pays special attention to the stories published in 1971 in Je vous écris d’un pays lointain, in which the theme of time, a mainstay o Banti’s writing, is developed in particularly modern and original forms.
