Io non ho paura - Niccolò Ammaniti
Aquest és un resum de l’argument: És l’estiu més calorós del segle. Hi ha quatre
cases perdudes en el camp. Els grans s’aixopluguen a casa, mentre sis nens, amb
les seves bicicletes, s’aventuren al camp roent i abandonat del sud d’Itàlia. Enmig
d’aquell mar d’espigues hi ha un gran secret, un secret que canviarà per sempre la
vida d’un d’ells. Michele Amitrano té nou anys i es troba que de sobte ha d’afrontar
un secret terrible que no pot explicar a ningú. I per afrontar-lo haurà de trobar la
força necessària a les seves fantasies de nen. En aquest paisatge dominat pel
contrast de la llum enlluernadora del sol i la foscor de la nit, Jo no tinc por, és un
adéu a l’edat dels jocs i de la sorpresa, i a l’energia màgica que ens fa lluitar contra
els monstres. El resultat és una història potent i d’absoluta felicitat narrativa, en la
qual es respiren atmosferes que van des de les aventures de Tom Sawyer a les
faules italianes de Calvino.
Analizza la lotta tra il bene e il male nel romanzo di.This
work was the most popular of the literary texts. Most candidates
showed a good knowledge of the text. This question required
candidates to analyse the struggle between good and evil in the novel.
Many candidates took the view that the children symbolise both good
(Michele) and evil (Teschio) or that the children epitomise innocence
and good, and the adults evil. Many candidates demonstrated good
analysis of how Pino was conflicted between the needs of his family
and the kidnapping of Filippo. In a significant number of responses, the
struggle between good and evil was not addressed in any depth and
some candidates produced responses that were too descriptive, while
others simply outlined the plot of the novel and hence lost marks for
the lack of critical analysis.
, Analizza l’importanza dell’immaginazione di Michele nel romanzo.
There were only a few responses to this question, in which candidates
were asked to analyse the importance of Michele’s imagination. Better
responses mentioned how Michele’s imagination allows the reader to
enter his world and how this allows him to deal with the situation in
which he finds himself with Filippo and the adults. Some candidates
simply outlined the plot of the novel with little critical analysis and lost
marks as a result.

Io non ho paura – Niccolò Ammaniti
Esamina come si sviluppa l’amicizia tra Michele e Filippo. Nella tua risposta puoi

Students may refer to the following in their answers.
The novel shows the development of a deep friendship between Michele and Filippo, the child he finds
in the hole.
* Their first encounter takes place when Michele accidentally discovers a hole in the ground while
carrying out a forfeit. When he looks inside, he sees a body at the bottom of the hole, but, being only a
child, he is terrified and immediately runs off.
* Michele overcomes his fear and starts going back to the hole to talk to the strange child. They soon
bond as they discover that they have things in common – for example they are the same age. The fact
that Michele cannot understand why Filippo is kept in the hole doesn’t stop him from becoming his
friend and he starts looking after him, bringing food and on one occasion even taking him out of the
hole.
