Immerse yourself in the evocative atmosphere of Ferrara in the last summers of the thirties, through the eyes of Giorgio Bassani. 'The Garden of the Finzi-Continis' tells the story of an aristocratic Jewish family facing a dark destiny amidst the rise of fascism. Through the narrator's eyes, we witness his relationship with Micol Finzi-Contini and the Jewish community of Ferrara, as they seek refuge in the family's idyllic garden, a sanctuary in an increasingly hostile world. This moving novel captures the beauty and tragedy of a turbulent era in Italian history.
Giorgio Bassani was an Italian novelist, poet, essayist, editor, and intellectual.
