Natalia Ginzburg

Natalia Ginzburg, unlike many of the noble women mentioned in previous post, was a writer. This is later portray of an Italien woman during the WWII era, a struggling mother, as well as an established author. This contempory author is as interesting as the woman Boccaccio imortalized in his works.

Facism, like Patrarch's concept of the Dark Ages, spawned from the boot itself. The term is often applied to the German National Socialism party, or Nazism. The linguistic roots can be traced all the way to the latin word Fasces, and the symbol of the soverignty of the Roman Republic. In 1870, the term fascio was used by a radical social and political organization found on the left of the political scale. Benito Mussolini coined the term in 1919 and due to the aftermath of WWI, the political dictatorship was established in 1925. Thus, Facism in Italy is born.

One-forth of Italien participants in the Italien Resistance during WWII were women, many taking on dangerous missions. These women had the duties of relaying messages, and delivering weapons, money, food and clothing. Fully aware that failing to complete the mission may lead in rape, torture, and death. In most Major cities, groups offered protection, jobs and training for women and young infants. No matter side the women chose, life was difficult and involved more than knitting and sewing for soldiers.

Ginzburg wrote essays, short stories and novels about family life and politics during and after the second world war. This philosopher one two prizes (Strega and Bagutta), and was elected in the Italien Parlament. The same year Mussolini emerged her father accepted a pisition in the University of Turin and was renowned for his works in history. She grew up in a home which entertained many intellectuals, and activists of her time. At age 17, she first published a short story. She married multiple times. One of her husbands was exiled, created an anti-fascist zine, and killed for his political views.

Much is printed on Ginzburg, and I find her much more appealing and sexy than the portrays of the victimized cows of the medieval ages. For more reading on Ms. Natalia Levi Ginzburg, feel free to click the link provided.

  6. Muy buena aclaración,y buena expresión en español. Podías expresar al principio de la oración,"incierto lo relativo a mi ascendencia italiana",suena mejor ,tal como lo pusiste es comprensible también.Sin embargo ese apellido¿ de donde viene ? y esa afición a la literatura italiana.Saludos,tu español es bueno e inteligible.Fidel.
