A propósito de las mujeres by Natalia Ginzburg ES
ItalyDescription:
Mujeres con sombrero y sin sombrero, jóvenes y viejas, maquilladas o con la cara recién lavada. Ellas, tan solas o con demasiada gente a su alrededor; con hijos que hacen preguntas molestas o amantes que llegan, te usan, saludan y se van. Mujeres que tarde o temprano se sienten malqueridas, aunque anden por la calle pisando fuerte y mirando coquetas el reflejo de su cuerpo en el escaparate de alguna tienda.

Family Lexicon by Natalia Ginzburg EN

Natalia Ginzburg wrote her masterful, Strega Prize winning novel Family Lexicon while living in London in the 1960s.

The Dry Heart by Natalia Ginzburg EN
Description:
Finally back in print, a frighteningly lucid feminist horror story about marriage The Dry Heart begins and ends with the matter-of-fact pronouncement: “I shot him between the eyes.” As the tale—a plunge into the chilly waters of loneliness, desperation, and bitterness—proceeds, the narrator's murder of her flighty husband takes on a certain logical inevitability. Stripped of any preciousness or sentimentality, Natalia Ginzburg's writing here is white-hot, tempered by rage.

The Little Virtues by Natalia Ginzburg EN
Description:
"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."
