«Crònica dels pobres amants» is the novel by Vasco Pratolini, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (336 pages, in Catalan).
The action takes place on Via del Corno, an old neighbourhood in Florence in 1925, and follows its residents: loves, quarrels, worries and small everyday episodes paint a choral portrait. The rise of fascism, the presence of the Blackshirts and the atmosphere of suspicion and denunciation overshadow life in the neighbourhood.
Originally published in 1947 as «Cronache di poveri amanti», with a Catalan translation by Maria Aurèlia Capmany. Edition from the collection «Les millors obres de la literatura universal, segle XX».
Reading for those who enjoy twentieth-century Italian narrative and choral portraits of neighbourhoods with a historical backdrop.
Vasco Pratolini was an Italian writer of the 20th century. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature three times.
