Grazia Deledda

Japanese: デレッダ - でれっだ(英語表記)Grazia Deledda
Grazia Deledda

Italian female novelist. Born to a wealthy family in Nuoro, Sardinia. Self-taught, she began her literary career in her mid-teens. After marrying and moving to Rome in 1900, she became the mother of two children, and continued to write a huge number of works in between her housewife duties. Her life is detailed in her autobiographical novel "Cosima" (1937, published posthumously). Most of her works feature bandits who hole up on Mount Gennargentu in her hometown of Sardinia, and the dramatic events that occur in their unique, closed society. However, it would be impossible to discuss Deledda's literature without taking into account the fact that these works were popular among the petty bourgeoisie of the time as popular novels, and essentially supported the fascist regime. His representative works include "Elias Poltl" (1903), "Ashes" (1904), "Kidzuta" (1908), and "Reeds Swaying in the Wind" (1913). In 1926, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Japanese:

イタリアの女流小説家。サルデーニャ島ヌオロの裕福な家庭に生まれる。独学で文学的形成を遂げながら10代なかばにして早くも作家活動に入り、1900年に結婚してローマに移住し、2児の母となってからも、主婦業の合間に、膨大な数に上る作品を書いた。その生涯は自伝的小説『コジマ』(1937、没後刊)に詳しい。作品の大半は、故郷サルデーニャのジェンナルジェントゥ山に立てこもる山賊を主人公とし、彼らの特異な閉鎖社会をめぐって生じる劇的な事件を題材としている。だが、それらの作品群があくまでも大衆小説として当時のプチ・ブルジョアジーに膾炙(かいしゃ)し、ファシズム体制を本質的に支えたという事実を看過して、デレッダの文学を論ずることはできないであろう。代表作に『エリアス・ポルトル』(1903)、『灰』(1904)、『きづた』(1908)、『風にそよぐ葦(あし)』(1913)などがある。26年ノーベル文学賞を受賞。
