      <abstract xml:lang="en">
        <p>“A humanity that forgets Buchenwald, Auschwitz, Mauthausen, I cannot accept it. I write for us to remember”: this was Giorgio Bassani’s answer to anyone who asked him about the origin of his writing. Guided by these words, Anna Dolfi has woven a fabric of suggestions that have pushed Italian and foreign scholars and even some protagonists to reflect on narrators, poets, essayists, historians, philosophers, publishers, artists, who have been induced by the history of a difficult affiliation to a sort of fatal, testimonial moral duty. The result was a book of great novelty for style and reading proposals which, starting from the ancient Jewish tradition, from legends relived in a political and libertarian key, after the Romanticism and the German 19th Century, brings to the fore the modern voices of European and North American literature/culture, and of the Yiddish and Eastern tradition. The names of the great Jewish intellectuals of Central Europe are recurring: Canetti, Schulz, Döblin, Antelme, Wiesel, Sebald, Oz, Grossman, Nelly Sachs, Irène Némirovsky..., among the Italians those of Loria, Natalia Ginzburg, Giacomo Debenedetti, Cesare Segre..., but especially Giorgio Bassani and Primo Levi who, in order to keep the memory of the tragedy of persecution and the Shoah, have chosen to place their entire work “entre la vie et la mort”. Eventually, all this leads to remembering how the duty to testify is linked to the affection and work of mourning, to the lasting effect of an immediate wound that nourishes the connection between the truth of what happened and what one might call the “truth of creation”, le vrai du roman.</p>

        <p>«Un’umanità che dimenticasse Buchenwald, Auschwitz, Mauthausen, io non posso accettarla. Scrivo perché ci se ne ricordi»: così Giorgio Bassani a chi gli chiedeva notizie sull’origine della sua scrittura. Guidata da queste parole Anna Dolfi ha costruito un tessuto di suggestioni che hanno spinto studiosi italiani e stranieri e persino alcuni protagonisti a riflettere su narratori, poeti, saggisti, storici, filosofi, editori, artisti, che dalla storia di una difficile appartenenza sono stati indotti a una sorta di fatale, testimoniale dovere morale. Ne è nato un libro di grande novità per taglio e proposte di lettura che, partendo dalla tradizione ebraica antica, da leggende rivissute in chiave politica e libertaria, dopo il Romanticismo e l’Ottocento tedesco porta in primo piano le moderne voci della letteratura/cultura europea e nord americana, della tradizione yiddish e orientale. A ricorrere sono i nomi della grande intellettualità ebraica della Mitteleuropa, di Canetti, Schulz, Döblin, Antelme, Wiesel, Sebald, Oz, Grossman, Nelly Sachs, Irène Némirovsky…, tra gli italiani quelli di Loria, Natalia Ginzburg, Giacomo Debenedetti, Cesare Segre…, soprattutto di Giorgio Bassani e di Primo Levi che, per serbare memoria della tragedia della persecuzione e della Shoah, hanno scelto di collocare la loro intera opera entre la vie et la mort. Inducendo a ricordare come il dovere di testimoniare si leghi all’affetto e al lavoro del lutto, all’effetto duraturo di una ferita immedicabile che ha nutrito la connessione tra la verità dell’accaduto e quello che si potrebbe chiamare il vero della creazione, le vrai du roman.</p>
