This review illuminates the ways Francesco Marroni’s intellectually stimulating monograph, where elements of textual and literary analysis come coupled with historical and (meta)biographical insights, takes us on a reading journey that is both enjoyable and compelling. Interspersed with graphic moments through which the author zooms in on relevant episodes and phases of Henrik Ibsen’s life, this work presents itself as a hybrid and nuanced experiment. Written in an elegant and captivating style, “Henrik Ibsen e la spettralizzazione del reale” (“Henrik Ibsen and the Spectralisation of the Real”) seems to smooth out technicalities in favour of a narrative strategy that, while never going to the detriment of factual evidence, succeeds in establishing an intimate dialogue with the reader.
La recensione mette in luce i modi in cui questa monografia intellettualmente stimolante a firma di Francesco Marroni, nella quale elementi di analisi testuale e letteraria si intrecciano con approfondimenti storici e (meta)biografici, ci accompagna in un percorso di lettura capace di intrattenere e, al contempo, lanciare una sfida. Intervallata da momenti vividi nei quali l’autore si concentra su episodi e fasi rilevanti della vita di Henrik Ibsen, l’opera si configura come un esperimento ibrido e ricco di sfumature. Scritta in uno stile elegante e accattivante, “Henrik Ibsen e la spettralizzazione del reale” attenua i tecnicismi a favore di una strategia narrativa che, pur senza mai incidere negativamente sull’evidenza fattuale, riesce a stabilire un dialogo intimo con il lettore.
