«Die Entdeckung des Alphabets» is a collection of stories by Luigi Malerba: paperback, 192 pages, in German, published by Fischer Taschenbuch (1997).
Stories set in the Italian rural world that portray with irony and caricature-like strokes the decline of a peasant civilization: hunger, fatigue, violence, and human relationships marked by necessity, in a landscape that emigration and war ultimately transform.
This German edition, published in 1997, translates «La scoperta dell'alfabeto», an original work by Luigi Malerba that appeared in 1963.
For German-language readers interested in twentieth-century Italian narrative and short stories with a rural setting.
