Antropologia di un intellettuale, Giuseppe Cassieri

Abstract

Giuseppe Cassieri’s last novel depicts the profound crisis a man of culture lives through his own time: it is society’s lack of consideration, loss of humanistic and traditional values, all mirrored in the illness of the protagonist who represents the condition of the intellectual of all times always aware of the need of changes.
Cassieri’s novel can also be considered an essay where the author analyzes men in relation to theirs own environment and ideas as they are portrayed in their physical and mental conditions.
