Secondo libro di prose dopo "Fartalla di Dinard", "Fuori di casa" raccoglie scritti di viaggio che risalgono agli anni dal 1946 al 1964: un vero e proprio diario di esperienze di vita composto di servizi giornalistici, appunti, ritratti o racconti minimi. I luoghi visitati vanno dalle natie Cinque Terre ai Paesi europei fino al Medio Oriente; che sia inviato dal suo giornale o in vacanza, Montale osserva il mondo con sguardo curioso e attento: un occhio alle "cose", l'altro sempre teso a seguire, nelle "cose" stesse, la nascita della propria poesia. Vera miniera di commenti e suggestioni utili per comprendere la poesia montaliana dalla "Bufera" a "Satura", pur nella varietà delle occasioni che lo hanno generato "Fuori di casa" è un libro di esemplare compiutezza formale.

Eugenio Montale
Author · 25 books
Eugenio Montale was born on October 12, 1896 in Genoa, Italy. He was the youngest son of Domenico Montale and Giuseppina (Ricci) Montale. They were brought up in a business atmosphere, as their father was a trader in chemicals. Ill health cut short his formal education and he was therefore a self-taught man free from conditioning except that of his own will and person. He spent his summers at the family villa in a village. This small village was near the Ligurian Riviera, an area which has had a profound influence on his poetry and other works. Originally Montale aspired to be an opera singer and trained under the famous baritone Ernesto Sivori. Surprisingly he changed his profession and went on to become a poet who can be considered the greatest of the twentieth century’s Italian poets and one who won the prestigious Nobel Prize in Literature in 1975 "for his distinctive poetry which, with great artistic sensitivity, has interpreted human values under the sign of an outlook on life with no illusions."
