Abstract
The essay analizes the poem of Pavese Atlantic oil, included in his compilation Lavorare stanca, trying to demonstrate the double semantic perspective, social and individual, of this text. In this poem intermingles rich and polysemic imaginary presences, which are studied according to the benjaminian symbol and allegorical theory. This analysis reveals once more the paradoxes of pavesian writing, that stems out from his own crisis, that is, from his evident modernity.Downloads
