This essay examines biblical references, inspirations and motifs in 20th-century Italian prose. It investigates the longstanding significance of the Sacred Scripture as one of the fundaments of Western civilisation and the Scripture’s changing influence on the imagination and sensibilities of modern Italian writers; it also attempts to provide an explanation of this trend. The Bible, a source of inspiration with extensive historical presence and numerous translations, has been met with multiple interpretations extending far beyond its purely theological dimension. It has shaped European cultural heritage in terms of its themes as well as its languages, symbols, concepts and metaphors, which have permeated European works of culture in the centuries past. The Bible has encouraged creators, including authors, to continue to operate within its tradition, albeit outside the strict confines of faith itself. It is a timeless code not just because of its longstanding presence, but also because it cannot be dismissed out of hand if we are to understand not simply the works of great, world-renowned classics, and those shaped by religion in particular, but notably the works of modern writers of both Christian and secular backgrounds.

: Il presente saggio intende approfondire la presenza di riferimenti, ispirazioni e motivi biblici nella prosa italiana del Novecento. Investiga il durativo significato delle Sacre Scritture intese come fondamento della civiltà occidentale, nonché il loro variabile influsso sull’immaginazione e sulla sensibilità degli scrittori italiani moderni, oltre a tentare di spiegare questa tendenza. Nella sua lunga storia e nelle sue traduzioni la Bibbia è stata oggetto delle più varie interpretazioni, anche al di fuori della sua dimensione puramente teologica. Ha avuto un’influenza formativa sull’intero patrimonio europeo, non solo in termini di tematiche, ma anche di lingue, simboli, concetti e metafore che permeano da secoli l’opera di innumerevoli artisti. La Bibbia ha incoraggiato i creatori, tra cui gli autori di letteratura, a continuare a operare all’interno della sua tradizione, perfino oltre i confini della fede. È un codice che perdura non solo nel senso del suo resistere al trascorrere del tempo, ma è anche quel codice da cui pare impossibile prescindere volendo conoscere l’opera di notevoli autori classici, soprattutto di formazione religiosa, ma anche di orientamento laico.

The aim of this article is to c cconfront Susan Faludi’s and Thomas Johansson’s theory concerning the masculinity crisis with images of men presented in modern Swedish popular literature. The masculinity crisis theory has risen in relation to feminism and presents the crisis manifesting itself in men’s difficulties in building deep relationships as a consequence of fear of getting close with other people, fears of not living up to the idea of an ideal man and loneliness. Three contemporary Swedish popular novels: Pappadagar i Råttans år (Paternity leave in Rat Year) by Daniel Möllberg (2007), Vi som aldrig sa hora (We who have never said whore) by Ronnie Sandahl (2007) and Vi har redan sagt hej då (We have already said good bye) by Daniel Åberg (2010) have been analysed in the light of the masculinity crisis theory. The analysis focuses on presentation of male characters in those novels, feelings they experience and ways of coping with their personal crisis. The author points out that men’s problems as claimed by the masculinity crisis theory are reflected in the analysed novels to some extent. However, since the characters are able to overcome adversities, one cannot unambiguously state that their masculinity is in crisis.
