These lively and superbly written stories helped inspire Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels. Ortese's work was also championed by Italo Calvino, who was her Italian editor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stories and reportage collected in this volume form a powerful portrait of ordinary lives, both high and low, family dramas, love affairs, and struggles to pay the rent, set against the crumbling courtyards of the city itself, and the dramatic landscape of Naples Bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis classic is exquisitely rendered in English by Ann Goldstein and Jenny McPhee, two of the leading translators working from Italian today. Included in the collection is 'A Pair of Eyeglasses', one of the most widely praised Italian short stories of the last century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35021564149913,"sku":"9781782273356","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/products\/9781782273356_6907d10d-0fdf-4037-94c7-c57b07d6860b.jpg?v=1601395712","url":"https:\/\/steyningbookshop.info\/products\/9781782273356","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
