Born in Palermo, Italy, in 1916, Natalia Ginzburg published her first novella, I Bandini, at the age of eighteen in the distinguished Florentine periodical Solaria. She was the first to translate Marcel Proust’s Du côté de chez Swann into Italian. In 1942 her first novel, La strada che va in città (The Road to the City), was published. In 1963 Ginzburg won the Strega Prize for her own humorous autobiographical work, Lessico Famigliare (Family Sayings), which dealt with her family’s anti-fascist life in Turin. In the 1980s Ginzburg became politically active, joining the Communist Party and being elected to Parliament as an independent left-wing deputy in 1983 and 1987. She died in Rome in 1991 at the age of seventy-five.
