Synopsis "Edera (in Italian)"

L'edera racconta la storia di Annesa, una trovatella adottata dai Decherchi, una famiglia nobile un tempo potente, ma decaduta a causa del comportamento spregiudicato del più giovane erede, Paulu, che sperpera senza ritegno il patrimonio. Sarà proprio a lui che Annesa si legherà con una passione che non sembra cedere neppure alle prove più dolorose. Così, quando la famiglia si troverà sull'orlo del baratro, sarà disposta, per la salvezza dell'amato, a commettere un terribile crimine. In un contesto di ancestrale splendore, la Deledda racconta ancora una volta le umane pulsioni e le loro tragiche conseguenze, soffermandosi sul senso di colpa che esige espiazione e che sovente impedisce agli esseri umani di godere di quella felicità a cui tanto bramavano. Avvolgendo il lieto fine in una coltre di amarezza.

Grazia Deledda was an outstanding Italian writer born on September 27, 1871 in Nuoro, on the island of Sardinia, and died on August 15, 1936 in Rome. She is widely recognized for having won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1926, being the second woman to receive this award. Her work is characterized by portraying the life, customs, and moral conflicts of the Sardinian people, especially in rural and traditional environments

From a young age, she showed a great passion for writing, despite not having received extensive formal education. She published her first novel at the age of 17 and continued writing throughout her life, with a style influenced by Italian verismo and the ideals of decadentism. Among her most famous works are Canne al vento, Elias Portolu, and La madre, where she addresses themes such as the struggle between duty and desire, the weight of tradition, and human suffering

Grazia Deledda was a pioneer in giving voice to women and to the peripheral regions of Italy in national literature. Her legacy remains important for the psychological depth of her characters and for her contribution to universal literature.
