Torino, Einaudi (stampa: «TIpografia sociale torinese»), collana «Supercoralli», 1982 (23 ottobre), in ottavo, piena tela verde acqua con titoli in bianco al dorso; sovracoperta bianca stampata in nero illustrata (riproduzione di un particolare del quadro «Il seminatore» di Vincent van Gogh); fogli di guardia muti; tipica grafica dei «Spercoralli», pagine: 328 [4, di cui 1 di colophon e 1 di bollino editoriale di «1ª edizione»]. Prima edizione. Eccellente esemplare, privo di particolari difetti da segnalare. Molto raro in queste condizioni. Iniziato nel 1976, subito dopo la pubblicazione della «Storia», «Aracoeli» è l ultimo romanzo dell autrice, che lo finì negli ultimi mesi del 1981; stampato a ottobre 1982, fu tradotto in varie lingue negli anni immediatamente successivi e vinse il Prix Médicis étranger nel 1984. Aracoeli è il nome della protagonista femminile del libro, il cui rapporto con il protagonista maschile, il figlio quarantatreenne Manuel, viene indagato. Scrive Marco Rustioni che «è negli anni Settanta che viene intrapresa l'elaborazione del libro e dall'analisi delle carte autografe è recentemente emersa una duplice stesura. La prima risale al 1975 e il progetto si intreccia con altri abbozzi e lavori rimasti nel cassetto, come le poche pagine manoscritte di «Superman», lacerto coevo ad «Aracoeli», e il romanzo incompiuto «Senza i conforti della religione», scritto nel 1958 ma traslato, sul piano delle idee e dei contenuti, nelle opere successive. La seconda redazione invece, quella adottata per il testo edito, viene avviata nel febbraio del 1977 ed è successiva al viaggio compiuto dalla Morante nei luoghi trasposti nel romanzo. Con qualche probabilità, dunque, la riscoperta della «Recherche» interviene a stretto contatto con questa fase di riscrittura». Marco Rustioni, «L'arte della fuga: il tempo e lo scacco in Aracoeli», in: «Non dimenticarsi di Proust. Declinazioni di un mito nella cultura moderna. A cura di Anna Dolfi», Firenze, Firenze University Press, 2014, pagine 310 - 322.…
