Massimo Bontempelli

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Bontempelli, Massimo 

Born May 12, 1878, in Como; died July 23, 1960, in Rome. Italian writer.

Between 1926 and 1929, Bontempelli supervised the journal Novecento in Rome and was the theoretician of the literary tendency called Novecentism, which proclaimed the emancipation of the creative power of fantasy from reality (for example, in the book Literary Novecentism, 1931). He advanced the formulation of magical realism, which combined realistic concreteness and grotesque fantasy and confused the regularities of the real world, in the novels A Son of Two Mothers (1929), People in Time (1937), and others.

WORKS

Tutto narratore, vols. 1–7. [Milan], 1938.
In Russian translation:

A costituire questa sezione sono i validi interventi di Keala Jewell sul rinnovato classicismo di De Chirico, e di Allison Coopere Luca Somigli su opere di autori come Paola Masino e Massimo Bontempelli in cui si evidenzia il bisogno di placare l'irruenza avanguardistica.
I recall enjoying Massimo Bontempelli and another Italian, whose name, regrettably, escapes me, in one of whose stories the young hero tremblingly rings the enchanting heroine's doorbell.
Nello studio cronologico della narrativa masiniana--suddiviso in sei capitoli, uno per ogni opera esaminata (tre romanzi e tre raccolte di racconti)--l'approccio critico della Rozier si prefigge di identificare e analizzare, attraverso una lettura tematica e trasversale dei testi, i temi centrali e principali della scrittura e dei pensiero della scrittrice pisana e compagna di vita di Massimo Bontempelli.
