Here, Ann Goldstein's \"deft translation\" (Madeline Schwartz, New York Review of Books) of Arturo's Island heralds a \"second life\" for the beloved author, finally garnering Morante \"the new readers she deserves\" (Lily Tuck, Wall Street Journal). Imbued with a spectral grace, the novel follows the adolescent Arturo through his days on the isolated Neapolitan island of Procida, where-his mother long deceased, his father often absent, and a dog as his sole companion-he roams the countryside or reads in his family's lonely, dilapidated mansion. This quiet, meandering boyhood existence is existentially upended when his father brings home a beautiful sixteen- year- old bride, Nunziatella. A novel of thwarted desires, written with \"the power of malediction\" (Dwight Garner, New York Times), Arturo's Island reemerges to take its rightful place in the world literary canon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 386\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.2 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 18, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47398645891250,"sku":"9781631496622","price":30.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/jUXUHwXLPa9781631496622.webp?v=1783746359","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/arturos-island-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
