Il lavoro di analisi è stato condotto attraverso un laboratorio che ha avvicinato gli studenti al lavoro sulle varianti compiuto dallo scrittore. L’obiettivo era di far apprezzare l’opera di affinamento linguistico e stilistico compiuta da Grossman, e insieme di far riflettere sulla progressiva trasformazione di un autore che, fedele interprete del realismo socialista nella prima redazione del testo, si rivela nell’ultima un dissidente irreconciliabile con il sistema sovietico.

The research is carried out on the basis of some of the critical categories expressed by B.M. Eikhenbaum and V.V. Vinogradov in the seminal studies that they devoted to the poetess in the early Twenties, which were known in Italy already in the years between the two world wars. Attention is drawn in particular to the translation of verbs, particles, adverbs, and conjunctions (particularly relevant to the two Russian scholars) with the aim of carrying out an analysis of Akhmatova’s most distinctive stylistic traits and of their linguistic marks, which can allow a reading of the Italian translations that is based on some of the objective features of the text.

Questo vivace dialogo a trevoci, molto diverse tra loro benché tutte di area marxista, costituisce indubbiamente l’esito più notevole della lettura di Aleksandr Solženicyn in Italia, quando ancora veniva giudicato un au-tore socialista e sovietico. The paper retraces the debate, in the periodicals of the Italian Left, between the poets Franco Fortini and Giovanni Giudici, following the publication ofOne day in the life of Ivan DenisovičandMatryona’s House, and in which the Slavist Vittorio Strada took part. This lively dialogue with three voices, very different from each other although all with a Marxist imprint, is un-doubtedly the most remarkable outcome of the reading of Aleksandr Solženicyn in Italy, whenhe was still considered a socialist and a Soviet author.

This paper analyzes how this issue turns out to be central in the artistic delineation of some of the most remarkable characters in Grossman’s works, from the half-mad Ikonnikov in Life and Fate to the cook Anna Sergeevna Michalëva, who, in Everything Flows, tells the story of the Holodomor.

Zsófia Kalavszky Research fellow, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary Inside and outside the Matchbox: David’s Story in Life and Fate. A Poetic Analysis The part of Vasily Grossman’s novel Life and Fate dedicated to the deportation of Ukrainian Jews and their execution in gas chambers is one of the most important sections of the novel. The section I call David’s story is the most semantically dense part of the novel. In this story-within-thestory we can observe how Grossman’s novel discourse functions at an almost poetic level. In the story of David and the pupa/puppet (куколка, кукла) he is saving in a matchbox, the word pupa and its variants become a complex theme (a motif) through repetition, which elevates the individual story of the Jewish boy’s being rounded up in a ghetto, getting entrained and finally gassed to a mythical lev...

Grossman. Through the theme of food, the analysis shows the completeness and the artistic value of this novel, which, alongside with Life and Fate, is one of the most important among Grossman's works, though it remained unpublished until 1970 and it has been studied little up to now.

Di tali motivi viene dimostrata la costanza fino alle ultime prove parigine di Poplavskij, in cui si riflettono significative contiguità con la prassi della zaum’, con temi e atmosfere come quelli della cosiddetta Nota parigina, e infine con l’automatismo surrealista.
