Giorgio Bassani
The Garden of the Finzi-Continis
New York: Atheneum, 1965
First US printing
A haunting adolescent love story, set in the aristocratic Jewish community of Ferrara, against a background of the Fascist takeover of Italy in the 1930s.
A master stylist, Bassani brilliantly evokes a whole world of hesitant relationships in difficult times, leading inexorabley to the terrible crime of the concentration camps.
Book has slight fading to the boards and the jacket shows minor wear to the spine.
