Abstract. The aim of the article is to trace Marina Tsvetaevs’s reception in the work of the Italian writer (poet and essayist) Antonella Angioi Anedda. The Italian author is familiar with numerous translations into Italian of Marina Tsvetaeva’s works; the “Tsvetaeva trace” can be clearly traced already in her debut poetry collection (a book of revelation) Residenze invernali (Winter Residences). The article pays special attention to Anedda’s narrative book La luce delle cose. Immagini e parole nella notte (The Light of Things. Night Images and Words), in which the author often refers to the work of Tsvetaeva, quoting her works or in connection with certain poetic problems. The book opens with the theme of insomnia, directly related to Tsvetaeva’s work. Anedda presents insomnia as a “street-mountain” and conducts dialogues with space as the dizzying abyss. The peculiarity of Anedda’s book lies in the fact that it intertwines the names of the philosopher-thinker Søren Kierkegaard and the poet Marina Tsvetaeva — two paradoxical, fiery, daring, ironic creators for whom music was the expression of the spirit of sensuality. The thread of Anedda’s reflections on Kierkegaard’s work, beginning with the name of Tsvetaeva, continues with a constant interweaving of associations in which the Danish philosopher’s thoughts intersect with those of the Russian poet. Throughout the book, Anedda touches on a variety of topics, but especially focuses on the themes of love and poetry.

 

Keywords: A. Anedda, insomnia, love, M. Tsvetaeva, loneliness, poetry, emptiness, S. Kierkegaard, creative freedom.
