Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832) war ein deutscher Dichter und Naturforscher. Er gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Schöpfer deutschsprachiger Dichtung. Johann Peter Eckermann (1792 - 1854) war ein deutscher Dichter, Schriftsteller und enger Vertrauter Goethes.

Tra il 1956 e il 1972, sulle pagine del Mondo, del Corriere della Sera, dell'Europeo, Flaiano ha costruito, articolo dopo articolo, aforisma dopo aforisma, un catalogo implacabile delle illusioni italiane. Il suo sguardo non risparmia nulla, nemmeno sé stesso: ironico fino alla ferocia, malinconico fino alla tenerezza, sempre troppo lucido per l'epoca che lo circondava. L'aforisma si fa racconto. Il frammento si fa tempo. E il tempo rivela ciò che di questi testi è insieme il dono e la condanna: tutto ciò che Flaiano scriveva sessant'anni fa sull'Italia sembra scritto stamattina.
