«Storia di un corpo» is the novel by Daniel Pennac, published by Feltrinelli in paperback (344 pages, in Italian).
After her father's funeral, Lison receives a posthumous package: the diary of the body he wrote from age twelve until the end of his life. The narrator traces his existence through the senses: the voice of a distant mother, the smell of the nanny Violette, the chicory coffee of the war. Pennac composes a vital journey with discoveries, greatnesses and miseries of the human condition.
The Italian edition features a translation by Yasmina Mélaouah and belongs to the «Narratori» collection from Feltrinelli. The work was originally published in French as «Journal d'un corps».
Aimed at readers of contemporary European fiction who value introspection and stories told through the body and the senses.
Daniel Pennac is a French writer. He received the Prix Renaudot in 2007 for his essay Chagrin d'école.
