Una scorribanda senza respiro, un quadro violento, grottesco e tragico spezzettato dai salti temporali dei capitoli e reso coeso dal tour de force nella lingua dialettale. Personaggi caratterizzati sulla superficie, sui corpi e nella camminata, e non per questo meno memorabili. Pasolini riesce perfettamente a descrivere la miseria e l'eroismo negativo dei suoi personaggi. ( ) no reviews | add a review

First published in 1955, Pasolini's masterpiece caused such public outrage that he was charged with obscenity and the book banned. Set in Rome's poverty-stricken neighbourhoods during the post-war years, it tells the story of a group of adolescents who live hand-to-mouth, their days filled with odd jobs, petty crime and prostitution, their hunger growing as Italy begins to enjoy a period of economic growth and unprecedented change.
