«Erica y sus hermanos. La Garibaldina» is a narrative volume by Elio Vittorini, published by Seix Barral in paperback (246 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together two narratives by Elio Vittorini. In «Erica y sus hermanos», a girl abandoned by her parents tries to make her way; in «La Garibaldina», an elderly woman contemplates a world she no longer recognizes. Both stories explore solitude, resistance and the search for identity in adverse circumstances.
1983 edition from the Biblioteca Breve collection (no. 623), translated from the Italian by Manuel Escrivá de Romaní.
For readers of Italian fiction and of stories with female protagonists facing solitude and adversity.
Elio Vittorini was an Italian writer and novelist. He was a contemporary of Cesare Pavese and an influential voice in the modernist school of novel writing. His best-known work, in English speaking countries, is the anti-fascist novel Conversations in Sicily, for which he was jailed when it was published in 1941. The first U.S. edition of the novel, published in 1949, included an introduction from Ernest Hemingway, whose style influenced Vittorini and that novel in particular.
