Canne al Vento Grazia Deledda
"[...] we are just like them in the wind, my woman Ester. That's why! We are reeds and the fate is the wind."
- Plot Canne al Vento Grazia Deledda
Deledda's narrative, now placed in the wake of Verga's realism, now juxtaposed with D'Annunzio's decadentism, tells of strong stories of love, pain and death, in which the religious sense of sin and the tragic awareness of an inexorable destiny dominate. . In her prose the carnal fusion between places and figures, between moods and landscape, between men and the land of Sardinia, a mythical place and starting point for a journey of the soul to discover an ancestral and primitive.
In Canne al Vento (1913), as in many of her works, Deledda sets her works in her homeland.
It is an intense story of love, pain and death immersed in an almost primordial and mythical world. Here human passions are dominated by a strong sense of sin and fate. Between late Verism and Decadentism, the writing shows the author's ability to evoke dramas of human conscience.
