      <abstract xml:lang="en">
        <p>It is a Sardinia out of time, on the threshold of history, the one emerging from the pages of Giuseppe Dessí’s novels and short stories. But it is also a living Sardinia, full of the contradictions occurring in the landscape and in the vicissitudes of men. The profound relationship which bound Dessí to his land, nourishing his fiction, non-fiction and intellectual works, stands out noticeably in the correspondence collected in this volume. The unpublished letters, found in four different Italian archives, were transcribed and duly annotated by Giulio Vannucci. They tell about the birth and composition of a 1951 special issue of Pietro Calamandrei’s «Il Ponte» dedicated to Sardinia, and reconstruct the genesis of the splendid anthology «Scoperta della Sardegna», issued in 1965 by Alberto Vigevani's publisher «Il Polifilo». In those two extraordinary books, the writer left the narrating voice to others for once. Within them, he built a different choral story of the island not only through the words of friends, but also through those of scholars, historians, politicians and many more. In the case of «Il Ponte», Dessí put himself at Calamandrei’s service to find suitable collaborators and talk about post World War Two Sardinia, while choosing researchers who could trace a new and original guide for the cultural discovery of the island for «Il Polifilo». The correspondence goes over all of this, but also over culture in the Sixties and the dialogues and intellectual tensions accompanying Dessí in the writing of two works which, thanks to their anthropological and social acuity, still tell the modern reader of a 'vital home' that was his.</p>

        <p>È una Sardegna fuori del tempo, alle soglie della storia, quella che emerge dalle pagine dei romanzi e dei racconti di Giuseppe Dessí. Ma è anche una Sardegna viva, ricca di contraddizioni che si inverano nel paesaggio e nelle vicende degli uomini. Il rapporto profondo che ha legato Dessí alla sua terra, nutrendone la narrativa, la saggistica, il lavoro intellettuale, si impone con forza nei carteggi raccolti in questo volume. Le lettere inedite, rintracciate in quattro diversi archivi italiani, trascritte e puntualmente annotate da Giulio Vannucci, raccontano la nascita e la composizione del numero speciale del «Ponte» di Calamandrei dedicato nel 1951 alla Sardegna e ricostruiscono la genesi della splendida antologia Scoperta della Sardegna, pubblicata nel 1965 dal Polifilo di Alberto Vigevani. In quei due libri straordinari lo scrittore, lasciando per una volta la voce narrativa ad altri, aveva costruito, non solo attraverso le parole di amici, ma di studiosi, storici, politici…, un diverso racconto corale dell’isola: mettendosi al servizio di Calamandrei, nel caso del «Ponte», per trovare collaboratori idonei a parlare della Sardegna del dopoguerra; impegnandosi a scegliere ricercatori capaci di tracciare una nuova e originale guida alla scoperta culturale dell’isola nel caso del Polifilo. Di tutto questo ci parlano adesso i carteggi, ma anche della cultura degli anni 60, dei dialoghi e delle tensioni intellettuali che accompagnarono Dessí nella compilazione di due opere che per acutezza antropologica e sociale ancora oggi ci parlano di una ‘dimora vitale’ che era la sua.</p>
