Synopsis "Sagitario (in Spanish)"

Para ahuyentar el tedio que padece desde la muerte de su marido, una mujer de mediana edad decide dejar la casa de campo donde ha vivido durante años y trasladarse a la ciudad. Chabacana, mandona y sumamente quisquillosa, sobre todo en lo que respecta a sus hijas, traba amistad con la enigmática Scilla, y pronto las dos mujeres planean abrir juntas una galería de arte. Sin embargo, la aparente seguridad de la protagonista, que se diría bordea la soberbia, no la libra de ciertas decepciones… Una de las obras más celebradas de Ginzburg, llena del humor, la perspicacia y el irrenunciable realismo moral que tanto han aplaudido generaciones de lectores.

Natalia Ginzburg (1916–1991) was a prominent Italian writer whose work spans novels, essays, plays, and translation. Born in Palermo and raised in Turin, she intensely experienced the effects of fascism and World War II, experiences that deeply marked her literature. Her style is characterized by a sober and precise prose, focused on everyday life and family relationships. Among her most recognized works are Family Lexicon (1963), which won the prestigious Strega Prize, The Little Virtues (1962), Dear Michael (1973), The City and the House (1984), and All Our Yesterdays (1952). She also ventured into theater with pieces like I Married for Joy (1966)

Ginzburg was a politically committed figure; she participated in the anti-fascist resistance and, later, was a deputy for the Italian Communist Party. Her work has influenced subsequent generations for its intimate and honest look at the domestic as a reflection of the universal. In addition to her work as a writer, she worked at the Einaudi publishing house, where she collaborated with figures like Cesare Pavese. Her legacy remains alive, especially for her ability to transform the everyday into literature of high ethical and aesthetic value.
