Abstrakt: | The book Occhio per occhio by Sandro Veronesi is an important voice in the ongoing
discussion on death penalty. First published in 1992 in the form of an essay, it was republished
in 2004 as a prose narrative. Veronesi combines journalistic style with narrative fiction and thus
reaches a the wide range of readers. The key word to the analysed text is “transgression.” Veronesi
shows four countries which represent four sides of the world as well as very different political
and cultural systems. He shows similar mechanisms of violation of certain norms and laws
in these countries. The title of his work, which refers to the Biblical law of retaliation, clearly
determines the position of the author who sees death penalty as a tool of revenge. Veronesi does
not speak to the reader from the position of a detached theoretician, but as a man who personally
experienced the tragedy of people affected by death penalty. For the reason that the author assumes
a definitive position in the discussion and refers to a general concept of human nature, his
novel arouses emotions and evokes controversies. |
