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
