L?accanita gara contro il destino di Mic?l, l?eroina ebrea di Giorgio Bassani, tra letteratura e tennis

The aim of the essay is to trace and deepen new literary archetypes about Bassani?s personage of Mic?l ?one of the exemplary victims of the Shoah, whose identity has been much discussed and fabled? interweaving the search for these cultured matrices with the discussion on the symbolic reasons for the choice of the author to make his heroine a tragic tennis icon, a sport loved and practiced all his life along with writing.
