Menesteos, marinero de abril di María Teresa León o il mito della nostalgia
Keywords:
viaggio, sradicamento, esilioAbstract
Il romanzo di María Teresa León, sebbene ispirato da una poesia del marito Rafael Alberti, concentra tutti i motivi della letteratura dell’autrice, realizzata per lo più nell’esilio argentino: l’evocazione del paese lontano, che per essere ormai perduto viene mitizzato, il sentimento dello sradicamento, lo smarrimento di trovarsi in terre straniere, il bruciante desiderio del ritorno, il castigo della guerra che guasta tutto, la pace e il paradiso appena ritrovati, la solitudine che insegue chimere che altro non sono che assenze e vuoti incolmabili.
Menesteos by Maria Teresa Leon or the Myth of Nostalgia
The novel by María Teresa León, although inspired by a lyric of her husband Rafael Alberti, sums all the motives typical of the author’s writing, mostly realized during her exile in Argentina: the recollection, and consequent mythicization of her far away country, the feeling of uprootedness, the bewilderment of being in a foreign land, the burning desire of a return, the punishment of a war that spoils all, the peace and heaven just recaputerd, the solitude searching chimeras which are only mean absences and unbridgeable voids.
