«Il sentiero nel bosco» is the tale by Adalbert Stifter published by Adelphi in paperback (110 pages, in Italian).
A hypochondriac man, described with mordant irony, meets a young woman from the woods who offers him wild strawberries; perhaps she is a dryad or another mythological being. The meticulous attention to details of nature and the silence about psychological facts create an unusual erotic tension.
Work originally published in 1845 under the title «Der Waldsteig»; this 1999 edition belongs to the Piccola Biblioteca collection (no. 433), with a translation by Margherita Belardetti.
For readers of classic European fiction and nineteenth-century narrative who appreciate stories of atmosphere and suggestion.
Adalbert Stifter was a Bohemian-Austrian writer, poet, painter, and pedagogue. He was notable for the vivid natural landscapes depicted in his writing and has long been popular in the German-speaking world.
