Aḥmad Shāmlu (Tehran 1925 - Karaj 2000), a writer, columnist, translator and above all a great Persian poet, is one of the greatest exponents of 20th-century Persian culture, loved (and sometimes challenged) for his intense and multifaceted artistic activities and original linguistic experiments. After the first experiments in the footsteps of Nimā Yushij, who introduced free verse and innovative content between the two world wars, Shamlu elaborated his own poetic expression, conforming to the principles of so-called 'white' poetry, with a prose form and French matrix, which through him was to spread in contemporary Persian poetry. Civil commitment in Aḥmad Shāmlu also deeply penetrates his poetics and decisively influences all his literary experiences, including his translation activity. Love, death, human misery, social injustice and the tragic nature of destiny, mostly treated from an anti-religious, existentialist and sometimes philosophical perspective, are the themes that most deeply touched Ahmad Shamlu's restless and rebellious soul. In this essay, the author Nahid Norozi (University of Bologna), after dwelling on the biography and cultural milieu of 20th-century Iran, analyses Shamlu's poetics and then examines in detail the themes and motifs of his eighteen collections through a rich exemplification. Second edition including appendix with texts in Persian.

Aḥmad Shāmlu (Teheran 1925 – Karaj 2000), scrittore editorialista traduttore e soprattutto grande poeta persiano, è tra i massimi esponenti della cultura persiana del ’900, amato (e talvolta contestato) per le sue intense e poliedriche attività artistiche e per gli originali esperimenti linguistici. Dopo i primi esperimenti sull’orma dello stile di Nimā Yushij, che introduceva tra le due guerre il verso libero e contenuti innovativi, Shamlu elabora una propria espressione poetica conformandosi ai principi della cosiddetta poesia “bianca”, di forma prosastica e matrice francese, che per il suo tramite verrà diffusa nella poesia persiana contemporanea. L’impegno civile in Aḥmad Shāmlu penetra profondamente anche nella sua poetica e influenza in modo determinante ogni sua esperienza letteraria compresa l’attività di traduzione. Amore, morte, miseria umana, ingiustizia sociale e tragicità del destino, trattate perlopiù in chiave antireligiosa, esistenzialista e talora filosofica, sono le tematiche che più profondamente hanno toccato l’animo inquieto e ribelle di Ahmad Shamlu. Nel presente saggio l’autrice Nahid Norozi (Università di Bologna), dopo essersi soffermata sulla biografia e l’ambiente culturale dell'Iran del '900, analizza la poetica di Shamlu e quindi esamina dettagliatamente temi e motivi delle sue diciotto raccolte attraverso una ricca esemplificazione. Seconda edizione comprensiva di appendice con i testi in lingua persiana.

Abstract

Aḥmad Shāmlu (Tehran 1925 - Karaj 2000), a writer, columnist, translator and above all a great Persian poet, is one of the greatest exponents of 20th-century Persian culture, loved (and sometimes challenged) for his intense and multifaceted artistic activities and original linguistic experiments. After the first experiments in the footsteps of Nimā Yushij, who introduced free verse and innovative content between the two world wars, Shamlu elaborated his own poetic expression, conforming to the principles of so-called 'white' poetry, with a prose form and French matrix, which through him was to spread in contemporary Persian poetry. Civil commitment in Aḥmad Shāmlu also deeply penetrates his poetics and decisively influences all his literary experiences, including his translation activity. Love, death, human misery, social injustice and the tragic nature of destiny, mostly treated from an anti-religious, existentialist and sometimes philosophical perspective, are the themes that most deeply touched Ahmad Shamlu's restless and rebellious soul. In this essay, the author Nahid Norozi (University of Bologna), after dwelling on the biography and cultural milieu of 20th-century Iran, analyses Shamlu's poetics and then examines in detail the themes and motifs of his eighteen collections through a rich exemplification. Second edition including appendix with texts in Persian.
