Not thrift but generosity and an indifference to money; not caution but courage and a contempt for danger; not shrewdness but frankness and a love of truth; not tact but a love of one's neighbor and self-denial; not a desire for success but a desire to be and to know.\" Whether she writes of the loss of a friend, Cesare Pavese; or what is inexpugnable of World War II; or the Abruzzi, where she and her first husband lived in forced residence under Fascist rule; or the importance of silence in our society; or her vocation as a writer; or even a pair of worn-out shoes, Ginzburg brings to her reflections the wisdom of a survivor and the spare, wry, and poetically resonant style her readers have come to recognize. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brøglitteraturbar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56321420067202,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/3296\/2946\/files\/NataliaGinzburg_TheLittleVirtues-1_png.webp?v=1770392654","url":"https:\/\/www.broeglitteraturbar.dk\/products\/the-little-virtues","provider":"Brøglitteraturbar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
