Alcune figure della diserzione nell'opera di Pavese

Abstract

Deserting Characters in Pavese’s Work ∙ Pavese’s experience of World War ii has been widely controversial. Anti-fascist without joining the Italian Resistance, Pavese reimagines his nonparticipation to the confict across several of his post-1945 works. The essay ofers a thematic reading on deserting fgures in some poems from La terra e la morte, in I due (included in Dialogues with Leucò), in the novel The House on the Hill. The reading brings out the torn and evolving development of the issue of deserting in Pavese’s oeuvre.
