Todos nuestros ayeres es una de las grandes novelas de su siglo y Ginzburg es, sin duda, una de sus mejores novelistas. En calidad de lectora, escritora y ser humano, su obra me ha conmovido y me ha cambiado la vida». Sally Rooney A veces basta la mirada ingenua de una chiquilla para arrancar una historia que cambiará la vida de dos familias y del mundo entero. Anna, un bicho triste y perezoso en palabras de la propia Ginzburg, es esa niña apocada que vive en un pueblo del norte de Italia en los años previos a la Segunda Guerra Mundial y se enamora de los juguetes de su vecino; es también la joven que casi sin protestar se somete a la violencia del sexo, y es la mujer que sigue a Cenzo Rena, un hombre treinta años mayor que ella, a un lugar inhóspito del sur tras convertirse en su esposa. Anna calla mientras todos a su alrededor hablan y gesticulan: hay quien pasa las noches tramando atentados contra Mussolini, otros que se pasean en coches descapotables o se esfuman sin dar explicaciones. Con la guerra llegan las decisiones importantes y los actos extremos: el escenario se abre, respira dolor, pide dignidad, y el miedo es moneda común. La que muchos han calificado como la mejor novela de Natalia Ginzburg nos devuelve página a página los gestos de una época y los años que cambiaron para siempre el destino de Europa. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From “one of the most distinguished writers of modern Italy” (New York Review of Books), a classic novel of society in the midst of a war. This powerful novel is set against the background of Italy from 1939 to 1944, from the anxious months before the country entered the war, through the war years, to the allied victory with its trailing wake of anxiety, disappointment, and grief. In the foreground are the members of two families. One is rich, the other is not. In All Our Yesterdays, as in all of Ms. Ginzburg’s novels, terrible things happen—suicide, murder, air raids, and bombings. But seemingly less overwhelming events, like a family quarrel, adultery, or a deception, are given equal space, as if to say that, to a victim, adultery and air raids can be equally maiming. All Our Yesterdays gives a sharp portrait of a society hungry for change, but betrayed by war. During the period described in the novel, Natalia Ginzburg was married to the writer Leone Ginzburg. Because of his underground activities, he was interned under Mussolini’s reign, along with his family, in a restricted area in the Abruzzi. When the Ginzburgs later moved to Rome, Leone was arrested and tortured by the fascists, and killed, leaving Natalia alone to raise her three children.
