La prosa e la lingua di Raffaello Brignetti nelle opere atalattiche

Despite the fact that the sea has been Raphael Brignetti's essential figure, the greatest inspiration for his works, the indisputable main character of each of his stories, it is mistaken to define him simplistically as a "a sea writer". With works and tales that have nothing to do with the marine element, he demonstrated the great ability to spot the smallest variations of reality and to represent them in different ways thanks to a skillful manipulation of language and syntax, though keeping it firmly within his distinctive style. Beyond the confines of the sea, he discovers and represents with a polyhedral method a world of history, emotions, experience, hurts, and a path of misery – an original style that carries the mature works to an extraordinary lyrical dimension. The variety of themes converges with stylistic and linguistic experimentalism, showing a laborious process of linguistic and structural refinement where the pragmatic value of each element represents the final goal.
