«La garza» is the novel by Giorgio Bassani, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
The novel is set in the Po delta during a cold day in 1947 and follows Edgardo Limentani, whose journey through the area's natural landscapes becomes a reflection on alienation and the difficulty of living. The narrative, structured as a modern tragedy in four movements, maintains a unity of place, time and action and is pervaded by the obsessive presence of the passage of time.
The work is part of the series «Il romanzo di Ferrara», in which it occupies the fifth place, and was originally published in Italian as «L'airone» in 1968. The edition includes a critical analysis by Anna Dolfi.
Giorgio Bassani was an Italian novelist, poet, essayist, editor, and intellectual.
