Alessandro Spina Books

Alessandro Spina, a Syrian-born author later naturalized as Italian, penned works often exploring colonial themes. His writing was recognized for its exceptional quality and depth, a fact highlighted by his extensive correspondence with prominent literary figures. After spending formative years in Libya and Milan, he eventually settled permanently in Italy to dedicate himself fully to literature. His novels, later collected in a cycle titled "The Borders of Shadow," delve into the complexities of identity and human relationships within a postcolonial context.
