GINZBURG IN�DITA
Un libro ic�nico de una «maestra en la elecci�n de las palabras (El Pa�s), admirada por Elena Ferrante, Italo Calvino y Rachel Cusk: una mezcla perfecta de ensayo y autobiograf�a. Todo lo que Natalia Ginzburg evoca y describe sucede en nosotros como por primera vez, pero perdura para siempre. En Vida imaginaria, quiz� su obra menos conocida, pero al mismo tiempo la m�s vers�til y combativa, publicada en 1974 e in�dita en castellano, la autora aborda, entre otros asuntos, la condici�n de la mujer y el feminismo, la infancia y las incertidumbres de la edad adulta o la debilidad de nuestras democracias. Tambi�n retrata a algunos escritores muy queridos por ella, como Italo Calvino, Elsa Morante o Cesare Pavese, y nos habla de pel�culas y de directores (Fellini, Bergman) cuyo arte supo reconocer desde el principio. Con discreta contundencia y una voz �nica, Ginzburg participa, a trav�s de cada uno de estos textos, en la vida de hoy, de un hoy que data de hace medio siglo, pero que el lector no dejar� de trasladar al aqu� y al ahora, y a los dilemas est�ticos, morales y pol�ticos a los que nos seguimos enfrentando. Este libro ha recibido una subvenci�n a la traducci�n por parte del Centro per il Libro e la Lettura del Ministero della Cultura italiano. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An iconic book by a "master at choosing words" (El Pa�s), admired by Elena Ferrante, Italo Calvino, and Rachel Cusk--a perfect blend of essay and autobiography. Everything Natalia Ginzburg evokes and describes feels as if it were happening to us for the first time, yet it endures forever. In Imaginary Life--perhaps her least-known work, but also her most versatile and combative, first published in 1974 and now available in English for the first time--the author explores, among other subjects, the condition of women and feminism, childhood and the uncertainties of adulthood, and the fragility of our democracies. She also portrays some of the writers she loved most, including Italo Calvino, Elsa Morante, and Cesare Pavese, and reflects on movies and filmmakers (Fellini, Bergman), whose art she recognized early on. With her discreet power and unmistakable voice, Ginzburg participates through each of these thirty essays in the life of today--a "today" that dates back half a century, yet resonates effortlessly with our present, confronting the same aesthetic, moral, and political dilemmas we still face.Oriana Fallaci, que entrevistó a la autora, describió a Natalia Ginzburg con estas palabras: «Ni guapa ni elegante, con rebeca y falda de color azul ceniza, con ese aire un pelín apagado de tía soltera y sin edad definida [...]. Pelo negro, pocas canas y un cuerpo compacto. Buenas piernas, de persona acostumbrada a caminar [...]. Desde luego parece una mujer sana, hecha para llevar cargas y dolores con entereza. Sorprende su voz, como de femme fatale. Es como si fuera la voz de otra, y te atrapa, te fascina». Esa mujer fue una de las voces más importantes de la literatura italiana del siglo XX. Nacida en Palermo en 1916, pronto se trasladó a Turín y más tarde, ya casada con Leone Ginzburg, vivió en Roma hasta que su marido fue asesinado en una cárcel de la capital por las fuerzas fascistas. Entre sus obras más conocidas, además de Léxico familiar, que en 1963 fue galardonada con el Premio Strega, destacan El camino que va a la ciudad, Todos nuestros ayeres, Las palabras de la noche, Las pequeñas virtudes, Querido Miguel, Familia, Vida imaginaria, La ciudad y la casa, A propósito de las mujeres, y Las tareas de casa y otros ensayos. Ginzburg trabajó muchos años como redactora para la editorial Einaudi en su sede de Roma, ciudad donde residía cuando murió, en 1991.
