DESCRIPTION - With these stories, unified by their background - the medieval, city of Ferrara - Giorgio Bassani won Italy's foremost literary award, the Premio Strega. First published in 1956, they are now an established classic of Italian literature. These are not 'short stories,' but studies in depth of characters made visible and closely observed in their provincial setting. In their interactions of love and hate, Bassani depicts the Catholic community, the Jewish ghetto and its inhabitants, and the Socialist freethinkers of Ferrara. There is Elia Corcos, the brilliant Jewish doctor trapped into an incompatible marriage with a Catholic nurse; Geo Josz, the sole survivor of a mass deportation of Ferrarese Jews, who on his return home finds himself a menace to those who have comfortably settled in his possessions; Clelia Trotti, an idealistic Socialist schoolteacher, blind to the realities around her. Within the microcosm of one city, Bassani has brought to a focus the private and public vicissitudes Italy suffered in a singularly tormented historical period, arresting them in a form of extraordinary purity, density, veracity.
