Feature
★ In these three short books - Servabo: A Fin De Siècle Memoir, Miss Kirchgessner, and The Medlar Tree, collected in one volume - Luigi Pintor retraces a life marked, often in spite of itself, by politics. At once intransigent and ironic, these autobiographical texts are written to reorder in the imagination things that don’t add up in reality.
★Rights sold：
Servabo. Memoria di fine secolo: English, German, French, Spanish.
La signora Kirchgessner: English, Spanish, French.
Il nespolo, English, Spanish, German.
Description
From the idyll of his Sardinian childhood to the transformative experience of the anti-Fascist resistance, and from post-war militancy to the dismal regression of Italian culture, Pintor captures memories that are intensely personal and inseparable from political and intellectual experience. Episodes and observations recur across all three books, but the tropes of autobiography are insistently displaced. Sparse and evocative prose, borrowing from the aphorism and fable, struggles to give form to personal and political despair, while Pintor never relents on the attachments and convictions that shape a life.
Author
Luigi Pintor (1925–2003) was co-founder and later editor-in-chief of the independent communist newspaper Il manifesto, and one of Italy’s foremost political journalists. He was elected to the Italian Chamber of Deputies as a member of the Italian Communist Party, which he left after the 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. After the end of his political career in the 1980s, Pintor continued to write for Il manifesto until his death.
