Outcast, foreign worker, enemy: exile and conflicting identities in Mario Rigoni Stern’s Storia di Tönle (1978)
Résumé
This paper focuses on exile and conflicting identities in Mario Rigoni Stern’s Storia Di Tönle, as well as on the damage caused by nationalism, an abstract principle which condemns Tönle to remain an alien both in Italy, his country of forcible adoption, and in Austria, his country of birth.
