Abstract

 

ABSTRACT: This work presents an analysis of the trilogy The Mill of the Pò (1957), by Riccardo Bacchelli, work that portrays the complex story of a family of millers, which is seen in three successive generations and happens in a century of history: the period since the defeat of Napoleon in Russia until the First World War, depicting the banditry and the first social conflicts that occurred in the context of the struggle for the Rivivel and for the Unification of Italy. In the perspective of comparative studies and considering the studies of Georg Lukacs (2011) and Celia Fernándes Prieto (2003) among others it is established a confrontation between the History and the fiction looking to see how Bacchelli being supported by the positivist history fits his work along the lines of classic historical novel considering that the facts and the historical characters are just the backgrounds to the fictional story. KEYWORDS: history, fiction, classic historical novel
