«Le bon vieux et la belle enfant» is the book of three stories by Italo Svevo, published by Seuil in paperback (176 pages, in French).
A man in his sixties becomes fascinated by the young woman driving a tram in Trieste; from that encounter arises an ironic reflection on old age, love and solitude, which the protagonist channels into writing.
The French translation appeared in 1963 in the Le Don des langues collection from Seuil; the three stories come from Italian.
For those interested in twentieth-century Italian literature and short fiction with a psychological nuance.
Aron Hector Schmitz, better known by the pseudonym Italo Svevo, was an Italian and Austro-Hungarian writer, businessman, novelist, playwright, and short story writer.
