# Vinnare av Viareggio-priset 1962»I all enkelhet och komplexitet en helt enastående vacker elegi över en förlorad värld.« | Peter Fröberg Idling, Tidningen Vi»Den förlorade trädgården är som ett litterärt kalejdoskop. Hur ofta man än läst om den är det ändå aldrig samma berättelse därför att de skimrande bitarna varje gång fogar sig till andra mönster.« | Jens Christian Brandt, DN Den förlorade trädgården utspelar sig i Giorgio Bassanis barndomsstad Ferrara före och under andra världskriget. Det är en gripande kärlekshistoria betingad av judeförföljelserna i fascismens Italien, berättad med en klarhet som gjort romanen till en av de stora italienska 1900-talsklassikerna.När judar genom de segregerande raslagarna förbjuds att spela tennis på stadens offentliga banor bildas ett sällskap som tillåts spela på den rika familjen Finzi-Continis privata bana i deras storslagna palats. Så får bokens berättare tillträde till den udda familjen, som fascinerat honom sedan han var barn - inte minst då Micòl, familjens briljanta dotter. När han gett upp hoppet om att vinna hennes hjärta blir smärtan dubbelt ohanterlig när hon deporteras till ett tyskt koncentrationsläger tillsammans med hela sin familj.I översättning av Elisabeth von Törne-Arfwedson och med ett nyskrivet förord av författaren Torbjörn Elensky. GIORGIO BASSINI [1916-2000] var en italiensk romanförfattare och poet. Hans debuterade 1945 med diktsamlingen Storie dei poveri amanti e altri versi [»Berättelser om olyckliga älskande och andra dikter«]. Första romanen var Guldglasögonen [Gli occhiali d'oro, 1958]. Hans internationellt mest kända verk är romanen Den förlorade trädgården [Il giardino dei Finzi-Contini, 1962].»Giorgio Bassani berättar så att det plågsamt smärtande bara kan anas, med en dämpad finkänslighet, med mild och melankolisk sötma.« | Kurt Aspelin, Aftonbladet

»Giorgio Bassani är ett av århundradets stora vittnen.« The Guardian

»En mycket välskriven berättelse och en briljant skildring av det borgerliga samhällslivet.« Betyg: 5 av 5 - Magnus Dahlerus, BTJ

En ny läkare kommer till den italienska staden Ferrara i början av 1930-talet. Athos Fadigati är modern och vidsynt och lyckas snart etablera sig. Men nyhetens behag avtar när stadens borgerlighet inser att han är homosexuell och han blir öppet förnedrad av en ung älskare. Historien berättas av en judisk man, som sorgset bevittnar den utstötte läkarens fall men som också sätter det i samband med samhällets förändring under fascismen och den tilltagande antisemitismen. Guldglasögonen från 1958 är en tragiskt klarsynt berättelse om förlorad mänsklighet i samhället under en historisk epok. Boken var Bassanis första roman, vilken inledde en klassisk svit av böcker om Ferrara, en myllrande krönika om liv, kärlek och svek i staden och dess omnejd. I svensk översättning av Ingrid Börge, med ett nyskrivet förord av Jens Christian Brandt.

För första gången på svenska: Del ett i den storslagna Romanzo di Ferrara-sviten

En ung arbetarkvinna som överges av sin borgerliga älskare. Spänningar som växer i ett äktenskap över klassgränserna. En förintelseöverlevare som tycks ha återvänt från de döda. En socialistisk aktivist som storslaget trotsar sin husarrest. Och det enda överlevande vittnet till andra världskrigets allra första illdåd i trakten. I fem oefterlikneliga noveller utforskar Giorgio Bassani staden Ferrara och landskapet däromkring, med dess kristna och judiska inslag och dess hårda klassmotsättningar; staden, och dess minne; människorna, och deras vilja till liv. Här introducerar Bassani de gestalter som sedan kom att utgöra en del av persongalleriet i Romanzo di Ferrara, en romansvit om livet och döden i Ferrara. Sammantagna bildar novellerna ett gripande, vindlande och färgmättat porträtt av en stad i fascismens skugga. Innanför stadsmuren kommer nu för första gången på svenska, i översättning av Johanna Hedenberg, som första boken i Modernistas utgivning av hela Romanzo di Ferrara-sviten.

A young man's unrequited love; a strange disappearance; a faded hotel; a lonely funfair; the smell of mown hay at the gates of the Jewish Cemetery - these vivid, impressionistic snapshots build a picture of life's brevity and intensity.

In the fourth book of the Romanzo di Ferrara cycle, Bassani paints a moving portrait of a 1930s childhood in which even the familiar classroom and playground dramas begin to reflect the sinister forces at work in fascist Italy. This powerful tale of friendship and rivalry in the face of the ever encroaching spectre of adulthood adds yet another intricate thread to Bassani's rich tapestry of his native city, Ferrara.'Giorgio Bassani is one of the great witnesses of this century, and one of its great artists' Guardian'Powerful new translations . . .

Among the masters of twentieth-century literature, Giorgio Bassani and his northern Italian hometown of Ferrara “are as inseparable as James Joyce and Dublin or Italo Svevo and Trieste” (from the Introduction). The Novel of Ferrara brings together Bassani’s six classics, including The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, The Gold-Rimmed Spectacles, and The Memorial Plaque on Via Mazzini, fully revised by the author at the end of his life.Set before, during, and after the Second World War, these interlocking stories present nuanced and unforgettable characters: the respected doctor whose homosexuality is exposed by an exploitative youth; the survivor of the Nazi death camps; the Jewish landowner, returned from exile, to find himself utterly displaced; the schoolteacher whose Communist idealism challenges a postwar generation.Suffused with new life by acclaimed translator and poet Jamie McKendrick, The Novel of Ferrara memorializes a city deeply informed by the Jewish community to which the narrator belongs. This seminal work seals Bassani’s indomitable reputation.

Mit den berühmten fünf Geschichten aus Ferrara setzt Bassani seiner Heimatstadt und ihren Bewohnern ein liebevolles Denkmal: Es ist das kleine Glück in einer bescheidenen Ehe oder das große, unerreichbare; es ist die tiefe menschliche Zuneigung, die auch unter widrigen Umständen gedeiht und das Versagen des Bürgertums in eben jenen Zeiten, die Bassani in seinem Buch präzise zeichnet, für das er den Premio Strega erhielt.

In leichtem Ton erinnert sich Bassani an Menschen, die ihm begegneten, und erzählt von Ferien am Meer, von Glück, Leid und Eifersucht.Seine Schauplätze sind Hotels von fragwürdigem Ruf, ein ärmlicher Rummelplatz, das Polizeipräsidium oder der jüdische Friedhof in Ferrara. Die 30er Jahre in Italien sind das »goldene Zeitalter« der Sfatti, der Lebemänner, und zugleich die Zeit des aufkommenden Faschismus.

În orașul Ferrara al anilor 1930 sosește un doctor nou, Fadigati, un om optimist și modern în atitudine și, mai mult ca orice, un om care vrea să fie acceptat în noua sa casă. Dar aparențele se năruie imediat ce localnicii descoperă că e homosexual, iar tânărul pe care-l plătește pentru a-i fi amant îl umilește în public. Pe măsură ce antisemitismul se răspândește în Italia, naratorul evreu al poveștii începe să nutrească milă și înțelegere față de doctor. Ochelarii cu ramă de aur este un studiu pasionant, dar tragic, despre cum ne pot fi distruse viețile de către cei pe care-i considerăm apropiați. Romanul lui Giorgio Bassani a fost ecranizat în 1987, în regia lui Giuliano Montaldo, cu Philippe Noiret, Rupert Everett și Valeria Golino în distribuție.„Vorbesc despre lucruri străvechi, dar scriu la prezent. Prin scris, vreau să mă înțeleg, poate să mă și vindec." Giorgio Bassani„Primele trei capitole din au parte de o voce narativă ce pare întrucâtva corală: insinuantă, convențională, vicleană, bârfitoare, atotștiutoare și, mai presus de orice, complice. De parcă orașul în sine, o zonă de recrutare pentru fascismul militant plină de entuziasm, ar fi primit o voce colectivă. Este un procedeu genial, dar unul de care trebuia să se desprindă prin introducerea naratorului la persoana întâi, un soi de alter ego ce ar fi putut sta mărturie la evenimentele din acei ani." Jamie Mc Kendrick„Talentul unic al lui Bassani este că personajele lui, atât de obișnuite, devin brusc, în mod înspăimântător, memorabile." The GuardianGiorgio Bassani s-a născut în 1916 la Bologna, dar și-a petrecut copilăria și tinerețea la Ferrara. A absolvit Facultatea de Litere a Universității din Bologna în 1939, în ciuda legilor antisemite promulgate în Italia în 1938. A activat în rezistența antifascistă, drept care a fost arestat și întemnițat în 1943. A fost eliberat imediat după îndepărtarea de la putere a lui Benito Mussolini. A fost director editorial al Editurii Feltrinelli, unde a publicat, printre altele, romanul Ghepardul al lui Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa. A murit în anul 2000 și a fost înmormântat în cimitirul evreiesc din Ferrara. Opera sa capitală este ciclul Romanul Ferrarei, din care face parte și Grădinile Finzi-Contini (Anansi.Clasic, 2023).
