Synopsis

With this publication, Melinda Camber Porter In Conversation With Eugenio Montale , Milan, Italy, 1976 (ISBN: 978-1-942231-02-8), we have an opportunity to listen to the strong voice of Eugenio Montale (1975 recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature) discussing poetry and its role in society. "Nowadays, it is becoming harder to distinguish between artistic and commercial life. The role of the artist has been reduced to his success or failure in commercial terms... these mass-produced voices are not those which will tell us whether we are heading for disaster and, if so, how to prevent it," explains Eugenio Montale when speaking to Melinda Camber Porter. Eugenio Montale describes his observations of the driving forces of human nature that he explored through his journalism, painting and poetry. During the prime of his life, he watched the rise and fall of Fascism in Italy, and his experiences remain relevant today as he discusses the importance of the individual's conscience, the poet's role in society, and the dangers of ideologies, the mass media, and consumerism. This volume includes Eugenio Montale's 1975 Nobel Prize Lecture in both English and Italian. This book is Volume 1, Number 1 from The Melinda Camber Porter Archive of Creative Works, which comprises two series of books: Volume 1 are books of journalism, sand Volume 2 are books of art and literature. [ISSN: 2379-2450 (Print); 2379-3198 (E-book); 2379-321X (Audiobook).]
