Abstract

This essay questions the pavesian realism or neorealism and tries to show the definitive and admirative importance of the myth, a force full of hermeneutic valencies in Pavese’s work. We discover in this way the «segnali dell’infinito», the «salti nel vuoto» in the pavesian texts, specially in Feria d’agosto. These are the unavoidable traces of the extreme modernity of this author. The article insists once more on the large debt of Pavese to the Romanticism and all irrational poetics od the Symbolism and Decadentism, without doubt, the richest models of the twentieth century writing of Cesare Pavese.
