Edna Ferber

    15 agosto 1885 – 16 aprile 1968

    Edna Ferber è stata una romanziera americana le cui opere si sono spesso concentrate su protagoniste femminili forti e su un ricco arazzo di personaggi secondari. Attraverso le sue narrazioni, Ferber ha esplorato la condizione umana, sostenendo la convinzione che le persone sono persone e che coloro che si trovano ai margini possiedono spesso il carattere più grande. La sua scrittura si distingue per le sue vivide rappresentazioni e un occhio attento alle sfumature della vita americana. Il significato letterario di Ferber risiede nel suo acuto esame della società e nel suo duraturo interesse per i personaggi che hanno affrontato pregiudizi e discriminazioni.
