Valutazione del libro

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The novel "The Issa Valley" by Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz captivates readers with its blend of gentle romance and harsh reality, presenting a deeply human and personal story. Set against a real geographical backdrop, the narrative unfolds in the picturesque region of central Lithuania during the early 1920s, with the Issa river representing the contemporary Nevéžis. Written in the mid-1950s while the author was in France, shortly before moving to the United States, the prose reflects a desire to break free from the constraints of ideologically driven writing that Milosz faced as an emigrant opposing real socialism. The novel features a dual perspective on the same events, alternating between the naive viewpoint of a child and the mature insight of an adult man. This fictional autobiography evolves into a tale about the power of myth, memory, and the enchanting waters that resonate with the imagination of a true Creator.
