A Leaf Falls

This book was born on the occasion of the Initiative of the National

Committee established within WikiPoesia and directed by Renato Ongania

(the past president of the Poetic Encyclopedia), to commemorate the

figure of the great Italian writer and poet Grazia Deledda, the only Italian

poet to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature on December 10, 1926

(awarded to her in 1927).

Deledda's writings show her potential force of expression; her style is

simple and direct in describing vivid and clear images of the countryside, as

well as the life, customs, and traditions of simple persons, the protagonists

of her books.

The publication of this book enjoys the cultural patronage of Wikipoesia.
