About This Book

Muistelma kuvaa kirjailijan äkillistä pidätystä ja pitkää vangitsemista poliittisista syistä sekä päivittäisen vankilajärjestyksen vaihtelua: aluksi sallivampi kohtelu ja kirjat, myöhemmin ankarampi eristys. Hän kuvaa työvankilan ja saarena sijaitsevan vankilan oloja, yksinäisyyttä, toivon ja muiston voimaa, perheen ja kirjallisuuden lohdullista merkitystä sekä ystävällisten ja julmien vankilanhaltijoiden kohtaamisia. Teksti sisältää pohdintoja uskonnollisesta vakaumuksesta, ihmisluonnosta ja kestävyydestä vaikeuksissa, ja päättyy vapautumisen sekä kokemusten kirjaamisen kuvaamiseen.

About the Author

Pellico, Silvio portrait

Silvio Pellico

Silvio Pellico (1789-1860) was an Italian writer and playwright, best known for his poignant memoir "My Ten Years' Imprisonment," which recounts his experiences in prison due to his political beliefs. A prominent figure in the Italian literary scene, Pellico's works often reflect themes of freedom, suffering, and the human spirit. His poetry collections, such as "Poesie inedite" and "Poesie scelte," showcase his lyrical talent and deep emotional insight. Pellico's literary contributions have left a lasting impact on Italian literature, particularly in the context of the Risorgimento, the movement for Italian unification.
