Deledda, Grazia 1871-1936 creator Hérelle, G. (Georges) 1848-1935 text utu 2026 monographic fr 1 online resource : multiple file formats Elias Portolu is a novel by Grazia Deledda, a Sardinian writer and winner of the 1926 Nobel Prize in Literature. The book was published in 1900 in the "Nuova Antologia". In 1903, it was published as a volume, after an initial revision by the Turin-based publishing house Roux e Viarengo. In 1917, after a second intense revision, it was republished by the Treves Brothers, and reprinted first in 1920 and then in 1928. After fourteen years, Deledda did not limit herself to simply correcting typos but, having undergone numerous rethinks, introduced innovations in hundreds of passages throughout the text. The philological, linguistic, and critical importance of the Treves edition, therefore, lies precisely in this widespread divergence in interpretation from the earlier editions. According to critics, the novel shows numerous evident affinities and consonances with the sensitivity, taste and themes of the great Russian masters of the nineteenth century, in particular Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
