Dive into 'Gog' by Giovanni Papini, a work that challenges conventions and explores modernity through the figure of Gog, an enigmatic character and product of an opulent America. Through a gallery of real and imaginary characters, Papini offers a visionary, macabre, and surreal vision of the world, questioning the illusions of progress and the loss of authentic values after the catastrophe of war. This edition, published by Plaza & Janés, invites reflection on chaos and the possibility of finding a way out in a disoriented world.
Giovanni Papini was an Italian journalist, essayist, novelist, short story writer, poet, literary critic, and philosopher. A controversial literary figure of the early and mid-twentieth century, he was the earliest and most enthusiastic representative and promoter of Italian pragmatism. Papini was admired for his writing style and engaged in heated polemics. Involved with avant-garde movements such as futurism and post-decadentism, he moved from one political and philosophical position to another, always dissatisfied and uneasy: he converted from anti-clericalism and atheism to Catholicism, and went from convinced interventionism – before 1915 – to an aversion to war. In the 1930s, after moving from individualism to conservatism, he finally became a fascist, while maintaining an aversion to Nazism.
