Separations - Massimo Bontempelli - Bog

Fiction. Seventy years after their publication in Italy and forty years after Bontempelli's death, these short stories are separated from us by a century's epochal transformations, yet they are stories so deeply imagined and so eminently readable, so alive with grace and irony and piercing intelligence, that they transcend time and place and speak directly to our most contemporary anxieties.
