«Una vida violenta» is the novel by Pier Paolo Pasolini published by Planeta in hardcover, with 351 pages, in Spanish.
Set in the Roman sub-proletariat of the 1950s, it tells the life of Tommaso, a young man from the suburbs marked by poverty and crime. Pasolini portrays that marginal environment with raw, direct language, and shows how everyday violence intersects with the awakening of a personal and social consciousness.
Originally published in 1959 as «Una vita violenta», this Spanish edition appeared in 1997 in the collection Clásicos Contemporáneos Internacionales, vol. X.
For readers of postwar Italian fiction and of Pasolini's literary phase prior to his film career.
Pier Paolo Pasolini was an Italian poet, writer, film director, actor and playwright. He is considered one of the defining public intellectuals in 20th-century Italian history, influential both as an artist and a political figure. He is known for directing The Gospel According to St. Matthew, the films from Trilogy of Life and Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom.
