Tommaso Landolfi (9 August 1908 – 8 July 1979) was an Italian author, translator and literary critic. His numerous grotesque tales and novels, sometimes on the border of speculative fiction, science fiction and realism, place him in a unique and unorthodox position among Italian writers.〔''Cassell Dictionary of Italian Literature'', 1996, p.310〕 He won a number of awards, including the prestigious Strega Prize. == Life == He was born in Pico, now in the province of Frosinone (then in the province of Caserta), to a noble family. In 1932, he graduated in Russian language and literature at the University of Florence. During his time in Florence he worked on various magazines including ''Letteratura'' and ''Campo di Marte''. He later worked on other magazines and newspapers including ''Oggi'', ''Il Mondo'' and ''Corriere della Sera''. He focused his translation efforts upon Russian and German authors such as Fyodor Dostoevsky, Aleksandr Pushkin, Nikolai Gogol and Hugo von Hofmannsthal. He spent much of his life in Rome and at the family home at Pico, as well as the gaming houses of Sanremo and Venice, where he was an avid gambler. He died in Rome. He was an atheist.〔Giovanna Ghetti Abruzzi, ''L'enigma Landolfi'', Bulzoni, 1979, p. 307.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tommaso Landolfi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
