The Gold-Rimmed Spectacles de Giorgio Bassani

The Gold-Rimmed Spectacles: Penguin Modern Classics

Autor Giorgio Bassani Traducere de Jamie Mckendrick
en Limba Engleză Paperback – mar 2012

The second book in Bassani's acclaimed Romanzo de Ferrara series, The Gold-Rimmed Spectacles is a gripping and tragic study of the terrifying historical realities that can shatter the course of individual lives

'A tiny unguarded moment had cost him very dear. From then on, you can imagine, he feared ridicule more than ever'

Into the insular town of Ferrara, a new doctor arrives. Fadigati is hopeful and modern, and more than anything wants to fit into his new home. But his fresh, appealing appearance soon crumbles when the young man he pays to be his lover reveals the doctor's homosexuality in a public humiliation. As anti-Semitism spreads across Italy, the Jewish narrator of the tale begins to feel pity for the ostracized doctor and the fickle nature of a community changing under political forces becomes clear.

Translated by Jamie McKendrick

Recenzii

Singular . . . The town of Ferrara and its inhabitants are realized with an extraordinary clarity
Powerful new translations . . . Bassani began as a poet, and McKendrick's redelivery of this taut uncompromising fiction reveals resonance and generosity
