{"product_id":"cesare-pavese-s-long-journey-book-giose-rimanelli-9781599541334","title":"Cesare Pavese's Long Journey","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt seems appropriate that Bordighera Press would choose to publish this study on Pavese on the heals of bringing back in print Rimanelli's controversial book \u003cem\u003eIl mestiere del furbo\u003c\/em\u003e after over fifty years. Eugenio Ragni's observations in his introductory remarks to the recent re-release of \u003cem\u003eIl mestiere del furbo\u003c\/em\u003e strike us as applicable to Rimanelli's book-length study on Pavese. Ragni refers to\u003cem\u003e Il mestiere del furbo\u003c\/em\u003e as an example of intellectual independence and whose analysis is still critically valid after so many years. The same holds true for Rimanelli's study of Pavese, as does a similar careful reading of the texts combined with a balanced philological and narratological approach. Moreover, a distinguishing feature of both \u003cem\u003eIl mestiere del furbo\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eCesare Pavese's Long Journey: A Critical-Analytical Study\u003c\/em\u003e, particularly from other criticism in the 1950s and early 1960s, are Rimanelli's enlightened references to foreign works and authors. Finally, the publication of this book-length study of Pavese brings to light an important chapter of Rimanelli's own life journey. It highlights a strong sense of tradition, a loyalty to place and to one's roots, and the idea of America as a metaphor for one's literary substance, one's myth, and one's destiny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--Mark Pietralunga, from the Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51234112635153,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51234113257745,"sku":"NIN9781599541334","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52147223691537,"sku":"NLS9781599541334","price":24.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1599541335.jpg?v=1750959904","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/cesare-pavese-s-long-journey-book-giose-rimanelli-9781599541334","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
