VIVERE E MATURARE PER ACQUISTARE AUTOCOSCIENZA. IL BACIO DEL PANE DI CARMINE ABATE
LIVING AND GROWING UP IN ORDER TO ACQUIRE SELF- AWARENESS IL BACIO DEL PANE DI CARMINE ABATE

Summary/Abstract: Abstract: the article; while focusing on the protagonist-narrator; demonstrates the structures that are typical of the novel of education and consequently points to the genre of the newest work by Carmine Abate; entitled Il Bacio del Pane. Over the course of one summer; Francesco—mostly because of his having met Lorenzo; the main witness in a mob trial who was forced to hide in the ruins of the old mill; near Spillace—turns from a careless teenager into a youth who becomes dramatically aware of such serious problems running in his community as the existence and operation of organised criminal groups. What is presented; then; are the psychological processes that take place in the internal world of the main character; who can also correctly describe the state he finds himself in. the analysis is carried out in relation to different theories (Bachelard; Freud; Jung).
