The Profile

Italian author from Sardinia, best known for the autobiographical work Padre padrone.

Born in Siligo, Sardinia. Author of the autobiographical memoir Padre padrone. Padre padrone was adapted into a film by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani (1977), which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

Reviews on DeBaser praise Ledda's autobiographical force in Padre padrone and Lingua di falce. Themes: harsh shepherd childhood, authoritarian father, struggle for education, Sardinian identity and language. Writing alternatingly powerful, intimate and at times difficult. Both reviews give high ratings.
