OTTIME CONDIZIONI, MAI SFOGLIATO, LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO, MACCHIETTE/FIORITURE SPARSE; TIMBRO DI BIBLIOTECA ESTINTA IN ANTIPORTA. Dalla quarta di copertina. Dove ci accadrà di incontrare ancora il personaggio-uomo? L’affettuoso incantesimo che, nei romanzi del’Ottocento, ci rendeva cari e familiari i personaggi, sembra finito per sempre. La narrativa contemporanea spesso non sa, o non può, offrirci più di referti clinici, detriti di naufraghi, talismani da supermarket. Essa delude un nostro antico bisogno: quella di conoscere la vita concreta degli altri, il mondo quotidiano della famiglia che, turisti ignoranti e patetici, abbiamo intravisto fuggevolmente intorno a un lume in una casa di campagna, il giro di pensieri dietro i volti che sfioriamo tra la folla di una città.

1990RIMANENZA DI MAGAZZINO PARI AL NUOVO: COPERTINA UN PO' SGUALCITA. Il volume rappresenta il primo studio sistematico pubblicato in Europa intorno alla presenza della figura dello schiavo nella letteratura cubana: nel secolo scorso, il tema, che fu fortemente sentito dagli scrittori dell'isola antilliana, in quanto la schiavitù vi si protrasse fino al 1880, ha ispirato opere di grande interesse, che precedono nel tempo la celebre La Capanna dello zio Tom.
