italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies Dear Ian, I'm not sure if you are only interested in narrative or other texts in Italian as well. Sciascia and Vittorini mentioned by colleagues are good narratives but don't deal directly with the Spanish War alone as Spanish writers have done (I like Pombo Angulo and Sender). The historical account I like best is still Hugh Thomash _The Spanish Civil War_ (e, nella versione italiana, Storia della guerra civile spagnola Torino: Einaudi, 1964) Some memoirs and personal accounts may be worth looking at. Here are some titles that might be of interest perhaps (can't add italics on my browser, sorry): Pietro Nenni, Per la Spagna. Con la Spagna. Lamberti Sorrentino, Questa Spagna: avventure di una coscienza. Renzo Segala, Trincee di Spagna: con i legionari alla difesa della civiltą Vittorio Vidali, Spagna lunga battaglia Teresa Noce, Teruel: martirio e liberazione di un popolo Olao Conforti, Guadalajara: la prima sconfitta del fascismo Renzo Lodoli, Spagna 1936-1939: i legionari Associazione italiana combattenti volontari antifascisti di Spagna, Il coraggio della memoria e la guerra civile spagnola, 1936-1939: studi, documenti inediti e testimonianze. Giacomo Calandrone, La Spagna brucia: cronache garibaldine Germano Curti, Nelle carceri di Barcellona: memorie della rivoluzione di Spagna Nino Isaia, Due fronti: la guerra di Spagna nei ricordi personali di opposti combattenti di sessant'anni fa. Sante Lombardozzi, Diario di un miliziano delle brigate internazionali in Spagna Raffaele Lampugnani Monash Uni ----- Original Message ----- From: ian seed <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thursday, March 11, 2010 10:57 pm Subject: [I-S] Italian literature on Spanish Civil War To: [log in to unmask] > italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies > > > > Hello - > > Does anyone know of any Italian literature on the Spanish Civil > War? > > In English, of course, there was a good deal, the best known > examples being Orwell and Hemingway.
