«Il cielo è dei violenti» is the novel by Flannery O'Connor, published by Einaudi Tascabili in paperback and in Italian.
An old hermit who believes himself to be a prophet, his nephew, a teacher who takes refuge in reason, and young Tarwater, caught between both paths, are the protagonists of a story about fanatical faith, violence and the weight of a family inheritance. O'Connor deploys her Southern Gothic in a reflection on religious fanaticism and human emptiness.
Italian translation by Ida Omboni, with an introduction by Marisa Caramella. Originally published as «The Violent Bear It Away».
For readers of Southern Gothic fiction and twentieth-century American classics.
