Domenico Scarpa celebrates Imaginary Life by Natalia Ginzburg"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"\"<\/a> The Turin International Book Fair is back under the new editorial direction of Annalena Benini, in the name of one of the most famous female Italian writers, who grew up right under the shadow of the Mole Antonelliana: Natalia Ginzburg. Her volume Vita immaginaria (Imaginary Life), which will celebrate its 50-year anniversary in 2024, also gives title and theme to the new edition of the International Book Fair. Ginzburg\u2019s volume addresses the women\u2019s living conditions during the years of Feminism, those of Jews and of the State of Israel, the fragility of democracy, which is always under threat, up to a reflection upon creative processes.
\nThese issues are all still relevant to the present day and will partly find a place at the Turin Book Fair between May 9 and 13. \u201cImaginary life drives creative life, as Natalia Ginzburg wrote in her superb essay, and it sometimes anticipates and guesses real life events,\u201d explained Benini during a recent presentation of the program at Turin\u2019s Teatro Regio. This year\u2019s Book Fair is therefore a tribute to imaginary life, in all its forms: to its creative, melancholic, hopeful and always new way of creating other worlds and bringing them together, even hoping that some of them becomes real.\u201d
\nDomenico Scarpa, literary consultant for the International Primo Levi Studies Center in Turin, was entrusted the editing of the republication of Imaginary Life by the publisher Einaudi. \u201cI am very pleased that people talk about this volume, as it is one of Ginzburg\u2019s least known works. It is a collection of non-fiction writings published between \u201869\u2019 and \u201872 by the newspapers La Stampa and Il Corriere della Sera,\u201d he explained to Pagine Ebraiche. The collection features a harsh critique of Io e lui (The Two of Us) by Alberto Moravia, as well as a positive yet bitter review of John Schlesinger\u2019s film Sunday Bloody Sunday.
\nSince this year also marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of the novel La storia (History) by Elsa Morante, it\u2019s worth resuming Ginzburg\u2019s analysis from that time. \u201cIn this novel, the narrating voice is that of who has crossed the deserts of despair,\u201d Ginzburg wrote about Morante\u2019s masterpiece. \u201cIt is the voice of those who know that wars never end, and that Jews, or someone else for them, will always be deported.\u201d This volume and all Natalia Ginzburg\u2019s books \u201care great classics of the past century. Republishing them means to keep them alive, and the choice made by Benini, who loves Ginzburg greatly, represents an invitation for everyone to read them.\u201d <\/p>\n
