 The Garden of the Finzi-Continis Giorgio Bassini • William Weaver (Translator) LITERATURE • 1996 • PAPER • 197 PAGES
Made into an Academy Award-winning film in 1971, this powerful book deals with unrequited love and classist society in the time of Mussolini, when anti-Semitic laws were beginning to melt down the social hierarchies. A wonderfully written and well-translated tragedy, it takes place in the town of Ferrara, between Venice and Bologna.
