"As far as the education of children is concerned, states Natalia Ginzburg in this collection of her finest and best-known short essays, I think they should be taught not the little virtues but the great ones. Not thrift but generosity and an indifference to money; not caution but courage and a contempt for danger; not shrewdness but frankness and a love of truth; not tact but a love of one's neighbor and self-denial; not a desire for success but a desire to be and to know. Whether she writes of the loss of a friend, Cesare Pavese; or what is inexpugnable of World War II; or the Abruzzi, where she and her first husband lived in forced residence under Fascist rule; or the importance of silence in our society; or her vocation as a writer; or even a pair of worn-out shoes, Ginzburg brings to her reflections the wisdom of a survivor and the spare, wry, and poetically resonant style her readers have come to recognize. A glowing light of modern Italian literature. Ginzburg's magic is the utter simplicity of her prose, suddenly illuminated by one word that makes a lightning streak of a plain phrase"--Publisher's description

The city is Rome, the hub of Italian life and culture. The house is Le Margherite, a home where the sprawling cast of The City and the House is welcome. At the center of this lush epistolary novel is Lucrezia, mother of five, and lover of many. Among her lovers—and perhaps the father of one of her children—is Giuseppe. After the sale of Le Margherite, the characters wander aimlessly as if in search of a lost paradise.

Ein anonymer Liebesbrief bringt die wohlgeordnete Welt der attraktiven Helen McFarquhar aus dem Gleichgewicht: ob geschrieben vom »Jungen in Flammen« oder nur ein belangloser Scherz, der Brief verstrickt die kühle Verführerin in Leidenschaften, die in ihrem Leben eigentlich gar keinen Platz mehr haben. Ein unbeschwerter, sommerlicher Wandel auf dem Pfad der Selbsterkenntnis, wenn man sich Helen McFarquhar verwandt fühlt.
