«La playa» is a collection of short stories by Cesare Pavese, published in 1987 by Seix Barral in paperback (188 pages, in Spanish).
A professor recalls reuniting with Doro, a friend from his youth who now lives in Genoa and is married to Clelia. They will spend a few summer days together at the beach, amid conversations and swims, as nostalgia, lack of communication, and the weight of roots surface in adult relationships marked by silence.
The original work, «La spiaggia», was published in 1942; the Spanish translation is by Juan Antonio Masoliver. The volume belongs to the Biblioteca de Bolsillo collection from Seix Barral and includes six stories by Pavese.
It will appeal to readers of twentieth-century Italian fiction and to those who prefer short stories with an intimate, melancholic tone.
Cesare Pavese was an Italian novelist, poet, short story writer, translator, literary critic, and essayist. He is often referred to as one of the most influential Italian writers of his time.
