Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. How I became a bandit CHAPTER ONE - THE CHILDHOOD On the 27th of March 1889 in St. Stefano's bathroom, where I serve my term of imprisonment, I begin to write my memories; by reading this test, do not expect things that make the human soul be joyful, but rather that make him feel sad and horrified. My country, called Rionero in Vulture, is located in the district of Melfi, in Basilicata, Italy, and is on the slope of a hill to the east of a mountain named Monticchio. The entire territory is covered with vineyards, olive groves, vegetables, chestnut trees, fields, forests and pastures, full of wonderful vegetation. According to some people, its population is made of 12,000 inhabitants among those there is the real Lucania prototype, mentioned by Telemachus. To the south of this beautiful country, set a few meters away from the body of the country itself, there are about twenty houses of a single floor, placed along the slope of a bank whose height varies between 25 and 50 meters. Each of these houses was inhabited by a family of poor farmers and cultivators, who working hard kept misery and hunger away. However, among those people there were the shoemaker, who was a secret spy of the Bourbon police, the stone-cutter, some decurions, the gossip, the tailor and the school teacher, for those who could pay for him. Those families were formed by 200 inhabitants, more or less; if we add to these people a hundred animals, among those there were sheeps, goats, oxes, pigs and donkeys, which are part of the poor, we will have the amount of five hundred animated beings, all inhabitants of those smoked hovels. Yet, in that place there were glorious, old and mutilated veterans of Napoleon, covered with wounds that they had got in Spain, Prussia, Austria, and against the Cossacks of the priest; there were a lot of men who had endured the Bourbon, Republican, Murattian, Bonapartist turpitudes and other misfortunes. There were respectable old ladies, who were still virgin and had not given in to the French, Jacobin and Spanish filths, during the fishy days when men protected themselves thanks to their own strengths, since governments, while waiting for fighting against each other, shot helpless men as they need their blood, imprisoned innocent people as they need money, as they need revenge. In the long winter evenings, those old men told each other the wonderful stories of their turbulent lives, of the battles they won, of the valuable actions they had made, of the blood that flowed along the battlefields full of dead and wounded people, which toughened our souls because of our warlike and bellicose nature. In one of those houses that I mentioned above, the first Sunday of June 1830 I was born from Francesco Crocco Donatelli and Maria Gera from Santo Mauro. My mother married in 1824 and from this year up to 1836 when I began to remember events, my mother gave birth to five children, named Donato, Carmine, who is me, Rosina, Antonio, and Marco; the sixth was to come into the world, but God was envious of our happiness and began to scourge us. Now I want to tell about the happiness of a poor family. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Brossura. Condition: new. A cura di Valentino Romano.Lecce, 2011; br., pp. 176, cm 15x21. Difesa e accusa nel processo in punta di penna a Carmine Crocco Donatelli, personaggio tra i più rappresentativi e controversi della rivolta contadina che infiammò il Sud all'indomani dell'Unità d'Italia. Nel 1903 il capitano medico Eugenio Massa dava alle stampe, per la tipografia G. Grieco di Melfi, la biografia del brigante. Nello stesso anno e - forse non causalmente - per gli stessi tipi, Basilide Del Zio, pubblicava una controbiografia nella quale si sforzava di contestare le affermazioni del brigante. La strana coincidenza accresce i dubbi di chi sostiene che la biografia di Crocco abbia subìto non solo il filtro linguistico del Massa ma anche quello storiografico di chi era interessato a mantenere tutta una serie di zone d'ombra, non solo intorno alla vita ed alle azioni del protagonista ma soprattutto sui meccanismi reali e sugli interessi sottostanti che furono tra le cause profonde dello scatenarsi dell'insorgenza e della rivolta prima e del brigantaggio poi.

D'après Livres Hebdo, ces mémoires étaient inédites en français jusqu'à cette publication tirée à 1500 exemplaires. "Carmine Crocco, né dans une famille de petits paysans du Midi de l'Italie, devint, entre 1861 et 1864, le "général des brigands" du Mezzogiorno. S'opposant aux forces libérales engagées dans l'unité du pays sans jamais abandonner ses activités de brigandage, il sema le feu et la désolation avant de se constituer prisonnier. Condamné à la perpétuité, il écrivit son autobiographie depuis sa cellule de bagne. Ces pages, retraçant selon lui la voie du crime, dépeignent un homme issu d'une terre déshéritée, porté par une rage et une ambition gigantesques. Tour à tour matois, sincère, séduisant, cynique ou repoussant, Carmine Crocco se livre à l'édification d'un étrange autoportrait, méditatif ou arrogant, pour planter au bout du compte la figure protéiforme d'un homme de peu en quête de grandiose. Que le Risorgimento ait été une oeuvre d'unification ou la conquête du Sud par le Nord, l'Italie vacille encore aujourd'hui au souvenir de ces jours terribles, dont Crocco cristallise toutes les contradictions.".…

Condition: Gut. Zustand: Gut | Seiten: 256 | Sprache: Italienisch | Produktart: Bücher | La vita di Carmine Crocco affascina ancora oggi gli studiosi e gli appassionati di storia, alla luce anche del fatto che il brigante, negli ultimi anni, lasciò su carta diversi scritti autobiografici. Ciò che si è salvato di questa produzione è andato incontro nel tempo a una certa fortuna, legata però anche a dei sospetti sulla sua autenticità. In questo volume sono raccolte la prima, e più famosa, autobiografia di Crocco, in una versione fedele all'originale edizione a stampa (compresi il commento e le note) e il secondo, meno conosciuto manoscritto, preceduti da una nota critica sull'origine e l'autenticità dei testi. In appendice una "intervista" rilasciata dal brigante più celebre della nostra storia contemporanea.
