( ) Un capolavoro, basta questa parola per definire questo libro, per me, di una bellezza sconvolgente. Uno sguardo spietato e al tempo stesso struggente, straziante ma anche dolcissimo, sul periodo dell’ultima guerra e che fa da sfondo al racconto delle vicende di Ida, Nino, Useppe, Davide e di tantissimi altri personaggi che li accompagnano in quegli anni difficili e durissimi. Letto la prima volta alla sua uscita nel 1974 è un libro da leggere e rileggere, assolutamente. What an amazing book. A morbid tale of failure and death in Rome around the last few years of WW2 and the few years after that is compellingly readable. I enjoyed the writing and the vividness of the characters - flawed, and highly believable. I also learned of the disaster of those years in Italy - which, for me, casts a new light on the lives of all those Italian migrants of the 1950s. I came across the book in Motherlands, a recently published book of the Australian descendant of Italian migrants who is searching for her roots. I owe the author a debt. I got the English translation of the book via an inter-library loan organized by my local library on the Sunshine Coast - I count myself as very lucky that such institutions exist, and deliver such a service. 2011 (my review can be found at the LibraryThing post linked) http://www.librarything.com/topic/120136#3046184 sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

A soldier wandering through the streets of Rome resolves, rather drunkenly, that he must find himself a woman. It is Ida Mancuso's fate, at precisely that moment, to turn the corner of the street, laden with shopping. The soldier sees easy prey - but Ida confronts her nightmare vision. The year is 1941, the soldier is German and she is half-Jewish. Elsa Morante's brave novel evokes the real terrors, fears and hopes of a mother living through one of the most horrifying events in recent times. In marked contrast to the posturing fascists on the political stage, this is the history of the Second World War as the ordinary people of Italy experienced it.
