Natalia Ginzburg (1916-1991) is today recognized as one of the
foremost woman writers to emerge from twentieth-century Italy. The
Complete Short Stories of Natalia Ginzburg brings together in
English translation for the first time the eight short stories that
Ginzburg wrote between 1933 and 1965. These early works are
significant in the context of Ginzburg's wider repertoire. The key
themes and ideas occurring therein would come to characterize much
of her later work, particularly in terms of her exploration of the
difficulties implicit in developing and sustaining meaningful human
relationships. Her short stories also provide intriguing insight
into the development of her trademark literary style. Including an
introduction by the translator and extensive contributions from
Alan Bullock, Emeritus Professor of Italian at the University of
Leeds, The Complete Short Stories of Natalia Ginzburg encourages a
deeper understanding of Ginzburg's life's work and compliments
those other collections and individual works which are already
widely available in English.
