Reference guide to short fiction
In occasione del centenario della morte di Hebel nel 1926, Walter Benjamin disse che il Tesoretto dell'amico di casa renano è una delle più genuine opere in prosa della letteratura tedesca. E W.G. Sebald, per il cui tramite giungo alla lettura di questa opera, dice: "Oggi non mi stanco mai di leggere e rileggere le storie del suo Almanacco, forse perché il suggello della loro perfezione - come osservava anche Benjamin - è proprio la facilità con cui le dimentichiamo".
Se trovate una copia del Tesoretto compratelo, anche se non avete intenzione di leggerlo subito. Ogni tanto sfogliatelo e leggetene qualche racconto, una breve cronaca, una storiella edificante: le pagine di Hebel, come una piccola e inaspettata madeleine, vi riporteranno indietro nel tempo e riproverete lo stupore disarmato di quando, bambini, sognavate sulle pagine del Sussidiario e ascoltavate rapiti le spiegazioni della maestra.
