Descargar Libro: La Signorina E Altri Racconti

Greatly influenced by writers ranging from Dickens and Proust to Woolf and Colette, Anna Banti was a prominent figure on the Italian literary scene from the 1940s until her death in 1985. The five tales in La signorina e altri racconti display her talent across many genres–fiction, science fiction, historical fiction, mystery. Bantis stories portray the ageless conflict between the expectations of society and the aspirations of the individual. In Vocazioni indistinte, the young Ofelia becomes a pianist after her marriage prospects fail, but self-doubt turns her success into miserable mediocrity. In the futuristic Le donne muoiono, men acquire a new evolutionary ability, women, lacking that ability, are consigned to the status of an inferior race. Joveta di Betania, set in the time of the Crusades, follows the daughter of King Baldwin II of Jerusalem as she escapes to a life of seclusion as an abbess–a life that becomes for her a source of proud freedom and deep bitterness. In I velieri, a young boy creates an imaginary world from an uncertain childhood memory. La signorina tells of a young woman who eventually finds herself, as a writer.
