Ignazio Silone (1900–1978)
Autor von Wein und Brot
Über den Autor
Silone was 15 years old when an earthquake in his native Abruzzi killed his mother and five of his brothers. Before he was 20 he had established himself in Rome as editor of a socialist weekly. In 1921 he went off on the first of many trips to the Soviet Union and became a founding member of the mehr anzeigen Italian Communist party. Under fascism he hid at first, and then, in 1930, he fled to Switzerland, at which time, however, he also broke with the Communist party. The novels that made him world famous as an anti-Fascist were Fontamara (1930) and Bread and Wine, the latter first published in English in 1936 and then in 17 other languages as well as in Italian. Silone was virtually unknown in Italy until after World War II, by which time he had undergone a radical spiritual transformation that is explained in a very moving essay, "Emergency Exit," included in Richard Crossman's The God That Failed (1950).

- Ignazio Silone was the pen name of Secondino Tranquilli, who was born in the Abruzzo region of Italy and lost many family members, including his mother, in the 1915 Avezzano earthquake. Silone was a founding member of the Italian Communist Party in 1921, and became one of its clandestine leaders during Mussolini's Fascist regime. Silone was expelled from the party due to his opposition to Stalinism. He went to Switzerland for his health and began to write. His novels Fontamara, Bread and Wine and The Seed Beneath the Snow form the Abruzzo Trilogy. He returned to Italy in 1944 and edited a journal, Tempo Presente.

"Wein und Brot" ist zugleich Abenteuerroman als auch eine politisch-philosophische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Kommunismus und der kommunistischen Internationale. Silone, der 1930 selbst ins Exil emigrieren musste und unter dem Eindruck des Stalinismus aus der PCI ausgetreten ist, verarbeitet dabei Autobiographisches und erläutert anhand Spinas Entwicklung seiner eigene Weltanschauung und sein Hadern mit den historischen und soziologischen Entwicklungen der 1930er. Abseits vom politischen Inhalt glänzt Silones Werk mit der authentischen Schilderung der verarmten Abruzzen und der ungebildeten Landbevölkerung zur Zeit des Aufstiegs des Faschismus und dem Ausbruch des Abessienkriegs. Silone hat seiner Heimat und seiner Herkunft, wie bereits in seinem Erstlingsroman Fontamara, ein literarisch eindrucksvolles Denkmal geschaffen. Seine bildgewachte Schilderung fesselt den Leser und macht die Athmosphäre jener Zeit fernab jeglicher Idylle und trotzdem voll Heimatliebe greifbar.… (mehr)
