About the Book

Durante la seconda metà del Novecento, la letteratura inglese è stata profondamente influenzata e trasformata da scrittori di origine extraeuropea, le cui opere si sono spesso concentrate sugli immigrati e i loro figli, e il loro posto nella società. Prima del 1948, in Gran Bretagna esistevano solo piccole comunità di gente di colore e il loro contributo alla letteratura era sporadico. Tuttavia, dopo la fine della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, l'Inghilterra aveva bisogno di lavoratori che aiutassero nella ricostruzione delle città distrutte dai bombardamenti, e in molti arrivarono dalle ex colonie, in cerca di un impiego e di un futuro migliore per sé e per i propri figli. Alcuni fuggivano da dittature, guerre civili e scontri fra etnie diverse provocati o favoriti dallo smantellamento dell'impero britannico. Londra non era più la capitale dell'impero, ma divenne una città internazionale fatta di mescolanze razziali e culturali. La scrittrice Andrea Levy è nata a Londra nel 1956 da genitori giamaicani arrivati in Inghilterra nel 1948. Small Island è il suo quarto romanzo ed ha immediatamente riscosso un grande successo sia di critica che di pubblico. Un'affascinante opera a quattro voci, in cui la narrazione procede attraverso il racconto in prima persona di due coppie di giovani sposi: i giamaicani Gilbert e Hortense e gli inglesi Bernard e Queenie. Le vicende trattate si consumano rapidamente nella Londra del 1948, ma ciascun protagonista rievoca la propria vita tra guerre, migrazioni e razzismo in una trama ricca di colpi di scena che mantiene costantemente viva l'attenzione del lettore.
About the Author: Consuelo Murgia nasce a Roma il 26 luglio 1983 da padre sardo e madre d'origine abruzzese, ma di fatto ha sempre vissuto in provincia. Nel 2002 consegue la maturità scientifica con 100/100. Nel 2005 si laurea in lingue con 110 e lode e nel 2008 consegue anche la laurea magistrale, sempre con il massimo dei voti. Spinta dalla sua passione per la letteratura postcoloniale, scrive la prima tesi su Andrea Levy e la Black British Literature, mentre la seconda è incentrata sullo Sri Lanka. Nel 2004 effettua uno stage presso la redazione magazine di RaiNews24 e nel 2005 riceve una borsa di studio per un corso di tedesco a Vienna. Nell'anno scolastico 2006-2007 lavora in Austria come assistente di lingua italiana, grazie all'apposito bando del Ministero dell'Istruzione. Nell'estate del 2007 invece insegna italiano presso la Sociedad Italo-Mexicana Dante Alighieri di Monterrey. Una volta conclusi gli studi universitari, inizia a collaborare con vari istituti di ricerche di mercato e centri di formazione di Roma, oltre a lavorare come traduttrice per agenzie di traduzione sia in Italia che all'estero. I suoi quattro diari di viaggio in Messico sono stati pubblicati sul sito www.paesionline.it, mentre una poesia e un racconto sono apparsi sulla rivista SitoPreferito Magazine. Il racconto Monteperdido è stato invece pubblicato da Robin Edizioni nell'edizione 2010 della raccolta Racconti di Provincia. Su Amazon è possibile trovare i romanzi Granito e Fichi d'India, In Crisi, La Moglie Messicana e L'Anima Rubata, la raccolta di racconti Incubando Altre Storie, la raccolta di poesie e disegni Le Mie Mani Da Mostro, la raccolta di poesie Gli Occhi Di Una Mosca e due opere di critica letteraria, La Black British Literature e Andrea Levy e Lo Sri Lanka e due scrittori: Leonard Woolf e Chandani Lokugé. Attualmente risiede a Monterotondo con il marito messicano e la figlia.
