# 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

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.

»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.

A new translation of Giorgio Bassani's haunting collection of short stories that evoke 1930s Ferrara, with an introduction by Ali Smith.Isolated lives and a lost world are evoked in these memorable stories set in the Jewish-Italian community of 1930s Ferrara. 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. Part of the sequence including The Gold-Rimmed Spectacles and The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, and featuring people and places from these novels, The Smell of Hay is told with a voice that is by turns intimate, ironic, elegiac and rueful.This new translation contains two pieces, added by Bassani to his earlier collection, which have never appeared in English before.'Powerful new translations...

'It was useless to think I'd ever be able to throw open the door behind which I was yet again hiding ... Not now. Not ever.'School is a place of unspoken hierarchies and rivalries for a young teenage boy growing up in the provincial town of Ferrara. But as the everyday classroom and playground dramas are played out, they begin to reflect the disturbing undertones of 1930s Italy, and the narrator realizes that being Jewish means he will always be excluded. The fourth book in Bassani's Romanzo di Ferrara cycle, Behind the Door is a luminous portrayal of childhood friendship and the loss of innocence.A new translation by Jamie McKendrick'Giorgio Bassani is one of the great witnesses of this century, and one of its great artists' Guardian'Powerful new translations . . .

'Exquisite. . . a classic tour de force' The New York Times 'It struggled to keep itself aloft, to gain height. But then it suddenly gave up, and dropped as though it were breaking into many pieces'Early on a cold Sunday morning, forty-five-year-old Edgardo Limentani gets up to join a shooting party in the countryside surrounding the town of Ferrara. As the day passes, he contemplates his past, his disappointments and how he has got here. Like the birds he shoots, he realizes, he is trapped, broken, waiting alone for the final coup de grâce. Then he sees a way out.The fifth book in Bassani's Novel of Ferrara sequence, and his final novel, The Heron is a taut, poignant portrait of a middle-aged man's reckoning with his life.

Into the insular town of 1930s 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 townsfolk discover his homosexuality, and the young man he pays to be his lover humiliates him publicly. As anti-Semitism spreads across Italy, the Jewish narrator of the tale begins to feel pity for the ostracized doctor, as the fickle nature of a community changing under political forces becomes clear. The Gold-Rimmed Spectacles is a gripping and tragic study of how lives can be destroyed by those we consider our neighbours.

A new translation of Giorgio Bassani's award winning collection of novellas, which inspired his masterpiece The Garden of the Finzi-Continis.A young working class woman abandoned by her bourgeois lover; the tensions of intermarriage between established classes and communities; a holocaust survivor seemingly back from the dead; a formidable socialist activist defying house arrest; the only surviving witness to the first local atrocity of the Second World War. In these five unforgettable stories, Bassani gave life to the characters that would inform the Romanzo di Ferrara, his suite of novels depicting life in the city. Moving, poetic, atmospheric and artfully observed, this collection is a distillation of Bassani's genius. It won the Strega Prize on first publication as Cinque Storie Ferraresi in 1956, and established Bassani as one of the greatest Italian writers of the twentieth century.'Giorgio Bassani is one of the great witnesses of this century, and one of its great artists' Guardian'The most uncompromising, merciful and merciless writer' Ali Smith

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). Now published in English for the first time as the unified masterwork Bassani intended, The Novel of Ferrara brings together Bassani’s six classics, fully revised by the author at the end of his life: Within the Walls, The Gold-Rimmed Spectacles, The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, Behind the Door, The Heron, and The Smell of Hay.Set in the northern Italian town of Ferrara before, during, and after the Second World War, these interlocking stories present a fully rounded world of unforgettable characters: the respected doctor whose homosexuality is tolerated until he is humiliatingly exposed by an exploitative youth; a survivor of the Nazi death camps whose neighbors’ celebration of his return gradually turns to ostracism; a young man discovering the ugly, treacherous price that people will pay for a sense of belonging; the Jewish aristocrat whose social position has been erased; the indomitable schoolteacher, Celia Trotti, whose Communist idealism disturbs and challenges a postwar generation.The Novel of Ferrara memorializes not only the Ferrarese people, but the city itself, which assumes a character and a voice deeply inflected by the Jewish community to which the narrator belongs. Suffused with new life by acclaimed translator and poet Jamie McKendrick, this seminal work seals Bassani’s reputation as “a quietly insistent chronicler of our age’s various menaces to liberty” (Jonathan Keates).

Tillfälligt slut

It is the autobiography of Giorgio Bassani, told in a time span of around 15 years, a time where the ambiguous and mysterious female figure of Micol was a central part of his life. They live in a time where racial laws are being passed by fascist Italy and as a result Micol and her family open the gates of their huge mansion and even bigger garden to a handful of jeweish friends that have been banned from any recreational activity. In this garden Micol guides the narrating "I" figure through the interior journey in search of his identity and maturity. Unfortunately this journey of truth can only end but in the sourest way; the rejection of a deep love felt by the author for Micol, his spiritual guide.
