About this book

Gabriele D'Annunzio's "Notturno" is an interesting piece of literature that combines formal poetry components with an autobiographical narrative. Writing this beautiful 288-page prose poetry on strips of paper one line at a time D'Annunzio did it while his eyes were bandaged from an eye injury. The compositional technique becomes essential to the reading experience.

In Notturno, he intertwines visions of his far-off past, especially those related to his mother and early years, with darkness, war memories, death, and grief. The language is so vivid that it conjures up indescribable hues and wonderful sceneries, much like going from painting to painting at an art gallery. An extraordinary work of literature formed out of hardship and sensory intensity.

About the author

Gabriele D'Annunzio

Gabriele D'Annunzio was an Italian poet, novelist, dramatist, and public figure whose prose often joined physical sensation with elaborate memory. Notturno grew from an unusual constraint. After an eye injury in 1916 left him confined to bed, he composed short passages on narrow strips of paper that could be written without normal sight.
