Abstract
The Italian poet, novelist, translator, editor and diarist Cesare Pavese (1908-1950) famously committed suicide after winning the coveted Strega prize for his 1949 trilogy of novels La bella estate (The Beautiful Summer). This article discusses one of the novels in that trilogy, Among Women Only (Tra donne sole), presenting it as a psychological "laboratory" in which the intensely private Pavese explores the rationale for suicide on the very public stage of the novel. The author argues that the writing of Tra donne sole was one of the self-willed steps that made it not just possible for Pavese to commit suicide, but impossible not to.
意大利诗人、小说家、翻译家、编辑和日记作家切萨雷·帕韦塞(Cesare Pavese, 1908-1950)在1949年凭借三部曲小说《美丽的夏天》获得令人垂涎的斯特雷加奖后自杀身亡。这篇文章讨论了该三部曲中的一部小说，《只有女人》(Tra donne sole)，把它作为一个心理“实验室”，在这个实验室里，极度隐秘的帕夫塞在小说的非常公开的舞台上探索自杀的理由。作者认为，《特拉多恩sole》的写作是帕韦塞的一个任性的步骤，这不仅使他有可能自杀，而且使他不可能不自杀。
