I fili del racconto
Tra le «parole cardinali» di Giuliano Scabia
abstract
In the four novels of Nane Oca, Giuliano Scabia reflects on the archetypes that inhabit the deeper layers of the human culture and of his imagination. These images and patterns, such forest, love, adventure, immortality, logos, just to name a few, can be found in the narrative tetralogy as recurring motifs and themes, crafted into the stories of Pavano Antico; these universal images, then, turn out to be “parole cardinali” (‘keywords’), through which it is possible to explore and understand the literary text.
