La famosa invasione degli orsi in Sicilia di Dino Buzzati: una fiaba-romanzo tra testo e immagini d’autore
The Bears’ famous invasion of Sicily by Dino Buzzati: A FAIRY-TALE novel Between Text and Original Drawings

Summary/Abstract: This article proposes a reflection on a tale that can be a bridge between “literature forchildren and teens” and “literature for adults”: The Bears’ Famous Invasion of Sicily by Dino Buzzati.It offers a link between fable and fantasy novel and contains all of the elements of the fairy tale thatVladimir Propp planned in 1928: loss, departure, challenges to overcome, reward, and return. It isclosely connected to its historical reality (the period after the Second World War), but at the sametime it detaches itself from that period through the fantastic element. In short, the book is a mirror ofBuzzati’s literary personality and the first literary work of a restless but sensitive author who alwaysfelt linked to painting and writing, to adults and children, to reality and evasion.
