La Lupa - Giovanni Verga

Stories like this are the meeting point between philosophy—or, more precisely, thought—and literature… Indeed, they actually represent the moment when the two interpenetrate, merge, become one… On one hand—framing the story—the tragic dimension: poverty, brutality, work, need, the habit of surviving by oppressing those around her. On the other, the She-Wolf. Who—more or less consciously… and perhaps precisely in surrendering to pure and simple instinct lies her greatness!—the She-Wolf who concretely demonstrates, with her own story, how human beings are capable of transcending finiteness: giving life to moments of eternity. In facing death rather than giving up her passion and her love—everything, in short, that identifies her as a being superior to the brutes—the She-Wolf becomes, in all respects, a character of mythology. Where moments of eternity are preserved. Discover the project at narrazionidautore.com
