LONELINESS OF CARLO CASSOLA AND IL TAGLIO DEL BOSCO / CARLO CASSOLA’NIN YALNIZLIĞI VE IL TAGLIO DEL BOSCO

Abstract

Il taglio del bosco, published in 1950, is usually defined as a novella or as a longstory. Il taglio del bosco is an early work of Carlo Cassola who is one of the most original writers of 20th Century Italian literature and his work is composed mostly of autobiographical elements. The story is based on the simple life of an ordinary forester, Guglielmo, and narrates deeply the loneliness of human kind. Carlo Cassola, focusing on the loneliness of humans by Guglielmo, presents reflections of his own emotional world by twinning his personal life with Guglielmo. The aim of this article is to examine the concept of loneliness in Carlo Cassola and its survey in Il taglio del bosco with the theoretical approach created by Italian intellectual Eugenio Borgna.
