| Description | The Joy of Shipwrecks brings together poems written by Giuseppe Ungaretti during the First World War and in the first postwar years. Many of the poems were composed in the trenches, amid the constant expectation of death, and war appears here as the personal experience of someone forced to rediscover the weight of every moment, every word and every sign that life continues. Ungaretti gradually abandons expansive poetic speech, leaving behind short lines and large empty spaces between them, so that even the simplest image acquires an extraordinary intensity and lingers in the memory.
The title of the book precisely captures the inner paradox of this poetry, in which a sense of destruction exists alongside an almost painful thirst for life, while the proximity of death compels the poet to look more closely at the world and to experience its fragility more acutely. These early poems later became one of the important points of departure for Italian Hermeticism and had a significant influence on the development of twentieth-century poetic language. |
