«La Califfa» is the novel by Alberto Bevilacqua, published by B (Ediciones B) in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
Irene Corsini, nicknamed Califfa, is a frank and bold woman who, after the harsh trials life imposes on her, crosses the river and becomes the lover of the powerful Annibale Doberdò. The novel contrasts two worlds and traces a bitter satire of postwar Italy, with a door open to hope.
The novel was originally published in 1964; this Spanish edition, from 2010, belongs to the Grandes Novelas collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction and those interested in Italian narrative and class conflict.
Alberto Bevilacqua was an Italian writer and filmmaker. Leonardo Sciascia, an Italian writer and politician, who read Bevilacqua's first collection of stories, The Dust on the Grass (1955), was impressed and published it. Mario Colombi Guidotti, responsible for the literary supplement of the Journal of Parma, began to publish his stories in the early 1950s.
