Paolo Volponi

Japanese: ボルポーニ - ぼるぽーに(英語表記)Paolo Volponi
Paolo Volponi

Italian poet and writer. In his poetry collections "Old Coins" (1955) and "The Gates of the Apennines" (1960), he sings of the scenery of his hometown and the old peasant world. His debut novel, "Memoriale" (1962), attracted attention. Since then, he has written many unique works that question the modern world through themes of madness and anger, such as "The Machine Called the World" (1965), "Corporale" (1974), "The Principality's Stage Curtain" (1975), the sci-fi comic-like "The Angry Planet" (1978), and "The Spear-Throwing Man" (1981).

イタリアの詩人、作家。詩集『古銭』(1955)、『アペニンの門(かど)』(1960)などで故郷の風景と古い農民世界を歌う。処女小説『メモリアーレ』(1962)で注目された。以後、『世界という機械』(1965)、『コルポラーレ』(1974)、『公国の緞帳(どんちょう)』(1975)、SFコミックス的趣向の『怒りっぽい惑星』(1978)や、『槍(やり)を投げる男』(1981)など、狂気と怒りを軸に現代を問う異色作が多い。
