"Not only a life lesson but also a literary lesson—that's what we can take from the simplicity of these pages," wrote Italo Calvino, who edited the collection for publication and considered it Natalia Ginzburg's best work, about "Little Virtues." The eleven essays included in the book were written by the author of the novels "All Our Yesterdays" and "Family Lexicon" between 1944 and 1962, during one of the most difficult periods of her life. Transporting the reader from the cold Italian village of Abruzzo, where the writer was “interned” by the fascist government during World War II, to the streets of prim London, where she lived in the 1960s, Ginzburg, with her characteristic rigor, insight, and sincerity, reflects on the vicissitudes of relationships that define human life – friendship, marriage, parenthood – on everyday life in post-war Europe, on irreparable losses and bitter lessons of the past, on loneliness and the craft of writing.
