Story2
Giuseppe Levi, the father, is a scientist, consumed by his work and a mania for hiking—when he isn't provoked into angry remonstration by someone misspeaking or misbehaving or wearing the wrong thing. Giuseppe is Jewish, married to Lidia, a Catholic, though neither is religious; they live in the industrial city of Turin where, as the years pass, their children find ways of their own to medicine, marriage, literature, politics. It is all very ordinary, except that the background to the story is Mussolini's Italy in its steady downward descent to race law and world war.

Story0
"Neste livro, lugares, fatos e pessoas são reais. Não inventei nada", escreve Natalia Ginzburg sobre sua obra mais célebre, Léxico familiar, de 1963. Nos anos 1930, como consequência da criação de leis raciais na Europa, inúmeras famílias foram obrigadas a deixar seu lar, tornando-se apátridas ou sendo literalmente destroçadas pela guerra que se seguiu. É nesse cenário que se inscrevem as memórias de Ginzburg. Nelas, o vocabulário afetivo de um clã de judeus antifascistas se contrapõe a um mundo sombrio, atravessado pelo autoritarismo.
