30 Day Trial For Ilife

Mario Tobin: The Clandestine

Tobino could be defined as an author greater among children. It seems to be decidedly out of fashion, especially among the young. And yet it deserves some more attention, especially the illegal immigrant. The last time I saw the light was in 2001 by Mondadori, then nothing.

seems strange that a once-famous author, we talk so little now, except to remind the same novel, The liberal women of Magliano. Think that was thanks to him created a big literary prize, the Prix Tobino memo and that his works were taken from various films.

In particular, however, I would like to dwell on this short novel whose reading I was pleasantly surprised although I happened to his hands almost by accident.
The action takes place, like many of his novels, in Tuscany and is the story of a group of guys who get together and start to fight against the fascists, out of love for their city (Medusa, easily identifiable with Viareggio , his hometown). With the same theme in the literature we can find Italian Fenoglio, Calvin, and many others, but if I remember correctly no one ever advised or appointed to school when I was a kid and retrospective seems a mistake. It 'easy to read, not rhetorical, dry, ideal for a teenager, but instead it read during the lazy summer holidays, is no longer re-printed, eliminating the root problem.
