Visions in translation. Celati, Blake, Michaux

Abstract

The essay investigates Gianni Celati’s relationship with two different authors such as William Blake and Henri Michaux. Starting from the reproposal of soome excerpts of their works on «Il semplice», it is exposed how Celati’s interest in these writers is linked to themes such as vision and liberation from social constraints - two topics variously treated by Celati in his works.
