Abstract

Abstract: Giovanni Drogo is the fictional protagonist of Dino Buzzati’s most celebrated text, Il Deserto dei Tartari ( The Tartar Steppe ). From the solitude of a distant Fortress, Drogo observes the wilderness of the desert while waiting for foreign forces to arrive. However, the idea of power correlated to his position slowly becomes an insight into the hidden significance of things. The enigmatic time of his wait, the feeling of enchantment, the hypnotic force of the Fortress, are all elements associated with his final destination. Beyond the desert is the beginning of the afterlife.
