There is so much to say about this little collection of essays that I'm going to have to read it again. I loved it. Natalia Ginsburg is a powerful writer and what I'm left with after this first reading is a sense of self-confidence. This is a woman who knows who she is. But it's her exploration of doubts and insecurities that create this impression. I think it was half through the piece ''He and I' when I realised what a powerful writer she was and how writing about opposites can be so self-affirming. I laughed out loud at her examination of London and the English, a piece that was really about longing for home. I found the lack of certainly and permanence in a post-war world strangely poignant having been burnt out by bush fire and expecting another. I'm still thinking about the signature piece, 'The Little Virtues' which somehow embodies what I'm trying to say about her work in that it is about the 'big' virtues and what is really important. Thanks for sending me this Jim. ( ) O exílio, os sapatos rotos de quem sabe o que não é necessário, o retrato do amigo que às vezes ficava muito triste, a Inglaterra melancólica e as conversas sem perigo, o vulto da casa caída, os silêncios, a diferença entre escrevermos felizes ou infelizes, as relações humanas, as pequenas virtudes mas sobretudo as grandes, o amor à vida que gera amor à vida. Neste pequeno livro, com textos tão bem escritos, cabe tanto. Pedro Amorós, La senda de los libros 06.11.2017: https://www.conoceralautor.es/pedro_amoros_la_senda_de_los_libros/post/las-peque... A medio camino entre el ensayo y la autobiografía, “Las pequeñas virtudes” reúne once textos de tema diverso que comparten una escritura instintiva, radical, una mirada comprometida llana y conclusivamente humana. La guerra y su mordedura atroz de miedo y pobreza, el recuerdo estremecedor y bellamente sostenido de Cesare Pavese y la experiencia intrincada de ser mujer y madre son algunas de las historias de una historia–personal y colectiva–que Natalia Ginzburg ensambla magistralmente, en estas páginas de turbadora belleza, con una reflexión sagaz siempre atenta al otro, arco vital y testimonio del oficio–vocación irrenunciable, orgánica–de escribir.
So light is the touch of the Italian writer Natalia Ginzburg in these 11 essays, written between 1944 and 1960 and translated by Dick Davis, that they might float through the reader’s mind unimpeded, if it weren’t for the ballast hidden within.

"As far as the education of children is concerned," states Natalia Ginzburg in this collection of her finest and best-known short essays, "I think they should be taught not the little virtues but the great ones. Not thrift but generosity and an indifference to money; not caution but courage and a contempt for danger; not shrewdness but frankness and a love of truth; not tact but a love of one's neighbor and self-denial; not a desire for success but a desire to be and to know." Whether she writes of the loss of a friend, Cesare Pavese; or what is inexpugnable of World War II; or the Abruzzi, where she and her first husband lived in forced residence under Fascist ru≤ or the importance of silence in our society; or her vocation as a writer; or even a pair of worn-out shoes, Ginzburg brings to her reflections the wisdom of a survivor and the spare, wry, and poetically resonant style her readers have come to recognize. "A glowing light of modern Italian literature . . . Ginzburg's magic is the utter simplicity of her prose, suddenly illuminated by one word that makes a lightning streak of a plain phrase. . . . As direct and clean as if it were carved in stone, it yet speaks thoughts of the heart." --The New York Times Book Review Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
