POESIE | 1992 | UNGARETTI | EDIZIONE GRANDI TASCABILI NEWTON

This edition of Giuseppe Ungaretti’s collected poetry presents a curated selection of his major lyrical works from the early twentieth century onward, highlighting his hallmark themes of war, silence, memory, and the fragility of language. The text is structured to trace Ungaretti’s transformation from the concentrated, minimalist war‑poems of Il porto sepolto to more meditative reflections on existence and time, evidencing his capacity to merge personal experience with universal resonance. Through sparse yet potent imagery and a rhythm attuned to the human pulse, the volume offers a valuable entry into the evolution of Italian modernist poetry. Its contribution lies in providing readers with access to Ungaretti’s poetic voice in an accessible format, reinforcing his status among the most influential figures in 20th‑century Italian literature.
