Electronic Text Centre, 2006) Farina, CorradoThis article examines Salgari’s earnings and the expenses he incurred, comparing him to contemporary best-selling authors.Item Open Access L'Italia e gli Italiani nelle opere di Emilio(Dalhousie University. Electronic Text Centre, 2006) D'Angelo, CorinneThis article explores Salgari's considerable opus to identify the more properly "Italian" aspects the novelist has included in his yarns. Even though he is known for the exotic locales of his novels, Salgari does not forget his motherland. Many are the Italian characters in his works and this article provides a complete listing of them, as well as discussing the author's sometimes opinions regarding the colonial activities of his times.Item Open Access Brevi note su povertà e ricchezza di Karl May, il Salgari tedesco(Dalhousie University. Electronic Text Centre, 2006) Heuer, Klaus-PeterKarl May was born in utter poverty and spent some extremely difficult years in his youth, even ending up in jail. His talent, however, allowed him to escape this situation. His adventure novels earned him a fortune. Upon his death, in 1912, he left properties for a total value of 140.000 marks.Item Open Access Dalle appendici al libro: Su Salgari scrittore d'avventura(Dalhousie University. Electronic Text Centre, 2006) Visioli, IvanEmilio Salgari originally started off writing for the daily press. No less than five of his novels were published first in daily instalments in various newspapers. These original versions, which have been reprinted only recently, show sometimes major differences with respect to the final products. What meaning should be attributed to these changes? And what are the reasons that might have pushed the author to modify his original output? This article aims to discuss Salgari's technique, his motivations, and the essence of his writing through a careful comparison between the first editions and the final versions of several novels.Item Open Access Scene di fanatismo in alcuni romanzi salgariani(Dalhousie University. Electronic Text Centre, 2006) Bisanti, ArmandoScenes of religious or superstitious fanaticism are quite common in Salgari's novels. Such events are given particular attention throughout his work and make the object of detailed and lively descriptions. The novelist focuses in particular on events likely to be perceived by Western readers as repugnant. He describes macabre or bloody happenings designed to stimulate the imagination of his readers, but also likely to provoke feelings of horror, disgust and rejection due to their ineradicable foreignness. This article examines the various functions these scenes fulfill and shows how they are always based on real events and never originate just from the author's imagination.Item Open Access L'India di Salgari: Trucchi ed espedienti di un maestro dell'avventura(Dalhousie University. Electronic Text Centre, 2006) Belli, LivioA question many of Salgari's readers have asked themselves, myself included, is how a writer who never actually left Italy can have managed to describe with such amazing effectiveness so many different exotic locales, so that once you have read them, you can never forget them. Were the characters' names and their stories entirely made up by the author himself? Or were they the result of long and careful research? This article describes some of the tricks used by Salgari to create his unforgettable settings and his old-fashioned atmosphere, as well as the methods and the sources that underpinned his incomparable creativity.Item Open Access Vero bohémien d'istinti randagi(Dalhousie University. Electronic Text Centre, 2006) Leonardi, RuggeroWealth, in its economic sense, was a stranger to Emilio Salgari. The author himself gave us a kind of self-portrait in his novel La bohème italiana, as a character who lives his life according to the dictates of the "Scapigliatura", a literary movement of the time that put "disorder" above all else. Salgari was a squanderer who could only have a distant relationship with wealth. Things change when we look at Salgari's wealth in terms of writing - that same wealth that so many of his contemporaries, including Giosuè Carducci, denied him. Today's researchers, however, can safely ignore the sharp judgment of the famous poet as they peruse the pages of Salgari's novels. To the contrary of those of so many other adventure writers, his, one hundred years later, evoke more than a hint of poetry.Item Open Access Ciò che mi ha dato Salgari(Dalhousie University. Electronic Text Centre, 2006) Paliotti, OresteThis article offers some thoughts on the recent revival of interest in Salgari's work. It focuses on the novelist's poetic universe and on his "recipes" to save reality from banality. It is essentially a personal reflection on Salgari's adventures as an introduction to life and to the author's spiritual search.Item Open Access Tante avventure, tante ristampe... ma non tanti soldi!!(Dalhousie University. Electronic Text Centre, 2006) Pozzo, FeliceEmilio Salgari was, notoriously, a slave of the pen. He sold the rights to his early works for ridiculously low amounts of money, and afterwards signed contracts that give him a kind of fixed income in exchange for a certain number of novels per year, for which he did not have the literary property. He never received any copyright fees. He had to make do by writing other novels under assumed names. All this is well known and has been well documented. How is it possible for rumours to the contrary to still circulate nowadays???Item Open Access Forsdick, Charles, Laurence Grove and Libbie McQuillan (eds). The Francophone Bande Dessinée.
