About this listen

Mastro Don Gesualdo è uno tra i più conosciuti romanzi di Giovanni Verga, pubblicato nel 1889. Narra la vicenda dell'omonimo protagonista ed è ambientato a Vizzini, in Sicilia, nella prima metà dell'Ottocento in periodo risorgimentale.

Secondo romanzo del ciclo dei vinti, è il frutto di un lungo lavoro di stesura durato nove anni. I primi abbozzi risalgono al 1881-1882, subito dopo la pubblicazione de I Malavoglia.

Mastro Don Gesualdo uscì a puntate sulla Nuova Antologia dal 1º luglio al 16 dicembre 1888 e poi in volume presso l'editore Treves, nel 1889, ma datato 1890. A differenza de I Malavoglia, Mastro Don Gesualdo fu accolto in modo positivo.

L'operazione linguistica condotta dallo scrittore risulta in questo romanzo particolarmente complessa a causa dell'eterogeneità delle classi sociali rappresentate, ognuna portatrice di un lessico proprio.
