«Il dono di sangue del sale perduto» is the collection of short stories by Alistair MacLeod published by Sperling & Kupfer in paperback (371 pages, in Italian).
The stories, set in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, portray simple people living in lonely places facing a hostile sea. With a lyrical style, MacLeod speaks of heritage, family, love, and traditions that persist in rural communities struggling to survive.
This Italian edition includes an unpublished story accompanied by the original text. The original work is «The Lost Salt Gift of Blood» (1976).
For readers of literary fiction and short narrative, especially interested in stories set in Atlantic Canada.
Alistair MacLeod was a Canadian novelist, short story writer and academic. His powerful and moving stories vividly evoke the beauty of Cape Breton Island's rugged landscape and the resilient character of many of its inhabitants, the descendants of Scottish immigrants, who are haunted by ancestral memories and who struggle to reconcile the past and the present. MacLeod has been praised for his verbal precision, his lyric intensity and his use of simple, direct language that seems rooted in an oral tradition.
