Abstract EN:

K. E. Suckert, born in 1898, was very early imbued with some of the values carried by the french culture. Paris, france were soon revealed to him at the outbreak of the first world war. Since then started an incessing dialogue between the young wrtier and the french culture; adialogue which was always passionate, which sometimes appeared like a confrontation - that was the "fascist period" ot the on who become curzio malaparte in 1926 27 - even in the midst of the most thriving exanges, in the thirties and until the second after-war. Because the french influences seemed to be too heavy sometimes, malaparte try to get rid of them. At the same time, however, he wanted to meet with success in paris, to become a french language writer. But, at the time of the "liberation", the critics, the public cold-shouldered him, dand felt his insincerity, often obvioux, but systematically magnified. How could he escape from his native hydridism: by denying it and calling himself "bloody toscan" or by assuming it to become the prototype of the contemporary european writter? his premature death, in 1957, mostly left in suspense this fundamental question.
