Graziella is a novella by Alphonse de Lamartine, part romantic memoir and part travel-writing, originally written in French in the mid-19th century. The story narrates a youthful love affair between a French gentleman and a young woman from Procida named Graziella during Lamartine’s travels in southern Italy. In the 1980 Tallone edition, the text is presented in French, in a deluxe limited format: brossura (softcover) with protective velina, contained in a cartonato editoriale case and a cofanetto; paper quality is high and the typographic design refined. The edition is numerata (numbered) among a tiratura limitata di 380 esemplari, including una sotto-serie “sur papier Magnani”. This presentation amplifies the nostalgic, lyrical, romantic qualities of the work. The narrative balances descriptions of nature, emotion, and internal reflection; themes include youthful passion, the idealization of love and place, memory, separation, and loss. Lamartine’s prose is poetic, delicate, evocative of the senses: sea, light, solitude, culture clash. For readers interested in French Romanticism, autobiographical fiction, and literary travel-narratives, this edition is both a textual and objet artistique.
