Alphonse Courrier possesses all the might reasonably make a man content: a prosperous ironmonger's business and a position of respect in his Auvergne village, a dutiful, coolly beautiful wife who runs an irreproachable household, two healthy sons, and a hidden mistress - "the ugliest girl in the village but probably the happiest". Prying eyes and wagging tongues, however, are the life force in a small community, and though Courrier thinks he can play the village gossips with the same skill he brings to the card table, life has a way of dealing the hand you least expect ...

This much-needed guide to translated literature offers readers the opportunity to hear from, learn about, and perhaps better understand our shrinking world from the perspective of insiders from many cultures and traditions. In a globalized world, knowledge about non-North American societies and cultures is a must. Contemporary World Fiction: A Guide to Literature in Translation provides an overview of the tremendous range and scope of translated world fiction available in English. In so doing, it will help readers get a sense of the vast world beyond North America that is conveyed by fiction titles from dozens of countries and language traditions. Within the guide, approximately 1,000 contemporary non-English-language fiction titles are fully annotated and thousands of others are listed. Organization is primarily by language, as language often reflects cultural cohesion better than national borders or geographies, but also by country and culture. In addition to contemporary titles, each chapter features a brief overview of earlier translated fiction from the group. The guide also provides in-depth bibliographic essays for each chapter that will enable librarians and library users to further explore the literature of numerous languages and cultural traditions.

The Encyclopedia of Italian Literary Studies is a two-volume reference book containing some 600 entries on all aspects of Italian literary culture.

Toute la vie d'Alphonse Courrier semble guidée par un souci maniaque : ne rien laisser au hasard. A trente ans, il dirige à Orcival une quincaillerie florissante ; il a choisi une épouse dont les vertus domestiques sautent aux yeux de tous et il jouit d'une estime indiscutable. En réalité, derrière la façade du conformisme, bien des passions réprimées couvent : celle qu'il inspire à Germaine, la belle domestique strabique ; mais aussi la guerre larvée que se livrent la vieille Mme Courrier et la jeune, et, surtout, la liaison secrète entre Alphonse et Adèle, la femme la plus laide du village. Rebondissements et chassés-croisés se succèdent, chacun jouant sa partie sous le regard oblique des autres, et sous celui d'un narrateur tantôt docte, tantôt narquois, mais toujours maître en dramaturgie. Jusqu'au jour où, par un tour du destin, le vaudeville se transforme en catastrophe. Et c'est ce même Alphonse Courrier, l'homme apparemment imperturbable, qui, un matin glacial de décembre 1917, accomplira un geste stupéfiant... Avec une écriture d'une pointilleuse légèreté, Marta Morazzoni raconte une existence faussement lisse, tissée de non-dits, puis rongée par un mal obscur qui finira par l'anéantir.

Vincitrice del premio Fondazione Il Campiello 2018 «Il vero compito della Morazzoni è quello di far sentire la tensione misteriosa, la presenza inavvertibile che avvolge ciò che esiste.» Pietro Citati Nella vita di Alphonse Courrier tutto scorre con immobile regolarità, tutto sembra programmato con estrema cura, fino alla pedanteria. Eppure, nella gelida mattina del 27 dicembre 1917, Alphonse compie un gesto che lascerà i suoi concittadini sconcertati, e per molti anni alimenterà le loro chiacchiere venate di risentito stupore. Con una scrittura di puntigliosa leggerezza, ordita di sottili e tenacissime nervature, Marta Morazzoni racconta un’esistenza che nulla potrebbe scalfire, fatta di relazioni pudiche, frasi non dette e sentimenti taciuti, ma che viene travolta da un destino oscuro, da qualcosa che si insinua nella vita e a poco a poco la erode fino ad annientarla.
