Giovanni Pascoli Books

    December 31, 1855 – April 6, 1912

    Giovanni Pascoli, a pivotal figure in late 19th-century Italian literature, explored the intimate and interior dimensions of poetic sentiment. His philosophy, articulated in "Il Fanciullino," championed the valorization of the particular and the everyday, advocating for a return to a childlike and primordial perspective. Pascoli believed only the poet could voice this inner "little child," asserting a unique, almost anachronistic role as a moral and consolatory guide. His work navigates a complex interplay between classical tradition and emergent Decadent themes, deeply informed by personal psychological undercurrents.

      Gedichte

      Giovanni Pascoli markiert den Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts in Italien mit seiner lyrischen Verbindung von Mensch und Natur. Seine Gedichtbände »Myricae« und »Canti di Castelvecchio« reflektieren den Gegensatz zwischen urbaner Realität und ländlicher Intimität. Pascoli nutzt Klangfarben und ein ökologisches Bewusstsein, um die Natur lebendig zu gestalten.
