Attilio Bertolucci weaves a lyrical tapestry where the history of his family, the Bertoluccis, is intertwined with the great events of Italy, from rural life in the Apennines to fascist violence and the Second World War. At the center, the marital bedroom stands as a symbolic space of love and restlessness. This edition offers the first complete European translation of a masterpiece that flows between dream and reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Bedroom\u003c\/i\u003e is a poetic autobiography that the author himself defined as a \"family novel (old-fashioned style)\" and \"drawn in dreams.\" The work traces the Bertolucci family tree and the milestones of Italian history through a sophisticated construction of memory. The reader travels to Casarola and the Apennines, the ancestral home among chestnut trees, and follows the poet's life from his childhood and youth between Parma and the countryside, through his love for Ninetta, the birth of his sons Bernardo and Giuseppe—future filmmakers—the peasant life of 1908, fascist violence, and the painful Nazi battle of 1944. At the heart of this family memory stands the bedroom, an intimate space that, destined for the sin of the spouses, becomes an accomplice to a love that will never find rest on earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFamily memory and poetic autobiography.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e20th-century Italian history: fascism, the Second World War, and rural life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eConjugal love and the intimacy of the bedroom as a symbolic space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between the individual, the natural landscape (Apennines, Parma), and the ancestral home.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGenerational legacy and the transmission of experience through writing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers of narrative and contemporary poetry, lovers of great Italian literature, and the autobiographical genre.

Its value lies in Bertolucci's ability to turn personal memory into a historical and emotional fresco of great significance. The publication of this first complete European translation represents a significant literary event, as it brings to the Catalan-speaking reader a fundamental text that was previously difficult to access. Reading it will be especially rewarding for those who appreciate poetry that tells stories and literature that probes the roots of being.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EDICIONS SALDONAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53405556801883,"sku":"9788419571496","price":24.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841957149.jpg?v=1781828438","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788419571496","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
