Very fragrant silence - reflections on the novel "La lunga vita di Marianna Ucrìa" by Dacia Maraini
Abstract
The article devoted to novel La lunga vita di Marianna Ucrìa of Dacia Maraini constitutes a
reflection upon cognition by means of senses. The analysis concerns the experience of
cognition of the world (people, situations, places) by the main character, deaf and dumb
person, whose sensual cognition of the reality is dominated by the sense of sight and smell.
The analysis concentrates on the character of smelling sensations, indicating their crucial but
forgotten function of the contact with the reality and its interpretation. The article highlights
the problem of non verbality and non-divisibility of perceptions of the sense of smell, which
the author of the novel Dacia Maraini faced.
