La cittadella
La cittadella | Archibald J. Cronin
1 post | 9 read | 7 to read
La cittadella, forse il pi bel libro di Cronin, ormai un classico della letteratura moderna, tragico e intenso, pieno di senso morale e di impegno civile, vivo e attuale. Cronin parla dell'ingiustizia della societ, della miseria corruttrice e dell'arroganza del potere attraverso la storia del dottor Manson. Il suo piccolo grande mondo racchiude i sentimenti della gente che lavora e che soffre, sullo sfondo di una regione brulla e inospitale come il Galles del Sud. Sono gli anni in cui lo sforzo di industrializzare e modernizzare la Gran Bretagna avveniva tra molte contraddizioni sociali. Ma l'indignazione per la disuguaglianza e la prepotenza non diventa mai declamazione retorica e trova il suo autentico respiro in una vicenda ricca, affascinante, umanissima.
