The first biography in any language of one of the most
celebrated Italian writers of the twentieth century.
Born in 1912 to an unconventional family of modest means, Elsa
Morante grew up with an independent spirit, a formidable will, and
an unshakable commitment to writing. Forced to hide from the
Fascists during World War II in a remote mountain hut with her
husband, renowned author Alberto Moravia, she re-emerged at war's
end to take her place among the premier Italian writers of her day.
When Rome was film capital of the world, she counted Pasolini,
Visconti, and the young Bertolucci among her circle of friends. She
was charismatic, beautiful, and fiercely intelligent; her marriage,
a passionate union of literary giants, captivated a nation; her
love affairs were intense and often tragic. And until now few
Americans have known of this remarkable woman and her powerful,
original talent.
