«La storia dell'amore» is Nicole Krauss's novel, published by Guanda in paperback (304 pages, in Italian).
Two stories intertwine in this novel: that of Leopold Gursky, an elderly Jew living in New York since fleeing the Holocaust, and that of Alma Singer, a teenager searching for the woman who inspired a book Leopold wrote years ago. The manuscript outlived its author, traveled from Poland to Chile and ended up changing the course of several lives.
The original English title is «The History of Love»; the Italian translation is by Valeria Raimondi and the edition belongs to the Narratori della Fenice collection.
For readers of contemporary and historical fiction seeking stories about memory, exile and the role of books in people's lives.
