La nostalgia come leitmotiv del Bildungsroman tondelliano = Nostalgia as a leitmotif of the tondelliano Bildungsroman

Abstract

Nostalgia as a leitmotif of the tondelliano Bildungsroman.This paper deals with the theme of nostalgia within the literary work of Pier Vittorio Tondelli and, going deep into the smallest details, the many gateway trips and the as many ways back of the variously autobiographical main character. Object of the exegesis is the continuum made up by the two writer’s apical novels, which can be read as a Bildungsroman containing either a strong integration yearning or a final accomplished growth, against the backdrop of relatively peaceful western Eighties. The Bildungsroman is analyzed starting from the sparkling Altri libertini until that novel of love and death, memories, escapes and return trips which is called Camere separate
