«Tre sentieri per il lago e altri racconti» is Ingeborg Bachmann's collection of short stories, published by Adelphi in paperback (234 pages, in Italian).
Five stories portray Viennese women facing loneliness and the pressures of everyday life with survival strategies that are often in vain. Among them are a simultaneous interpreter, an indolent young woman, Miranda, who shields herself with her short-sightedness, an elderly woman abandoned by her psychiatrist son, and a celebrated photographer returning to the city of her childhood.
The volume, originally published in 1972 as «Simultan», includes the final story that gives the edition its title, the longest in the collection, and contains a homage to Joseph Roth through a descendant of the Trotta family.
Recommended for readers of contemporary European fiction, especially those interested in stories featuring female characters and in the Viennese literary heritage of authors such as Robert Musil and Joseph Roth.
Austrian poet and author (1926–1973)
