Nel 2018 ha vinto il Premio Strega e il Premio Bagutta, ed è nella Selezione Premio Campiello 2018. «Helena è scrittrice vera, attenta alla fabula ma affascinata dalla realtà storica... Un libro bellissimo.» Roberto Saviano «Riscatta dall’oblio un volto di donna (la ragazza con la Leica): la fotografa tedesca ribelle e avventurosa, e pioniera del fotogiornalismo, Gerda Taro... Uno scintillio di passioni che il romanzo di Janeczek riesce a riprodurre perfettamente.» Vanity Fair «Helena è scrittrice vera, e questo, forse, è il suo libro più bello.» Roberto Saviano Il 1° agosto 1937 una sfilata piena di bandiere rosse attraversa Parigi. È il corteo funebre per Gerda Taro, la prima fotografa caduta su un campo di battaglia. Proprio quel giorno avrebbe compiuto ventisette anni. Robert Capa, in prima fila, è distrutto: erano stati felici insieme, lui le aveva insegnato a usare la Leica e poi erano partiti tutti e due per la Guerra di Spagna. Nella folla seguono altri che sono legati a Gerda da molto prima che diventasse la ragazza di Capa: Ruth Cerf, l’amica di Lipsia, con cui ha vissuto i tempi più duri a Parigi dopo la fuga dalla Germania; Willy Chardack, che si è accontentato del ruolo di cavalier servente da quando l’irresistibile ragazza gli ha preferito Georg Kuritzkes, impegnato a combattere nelle Brigate Internazionali. Per tutti Gerda rimarrà una presenza più forte e viva della celebrata eroina antifascista: Gerda li ha spesso delusi e feriti, ma la sua gioia di vivere, la sua sete di libertà sono scintille capaci di riaccendersi anche a distanza di decenni. Basta una telefonata intercontinentale tra Willy e Georg, che si sentono per tutt’altro motivo, a dare l’avvio a un romanzo caleidoscopico, costruito sulle fonti originali, del quale Gerda è il cuore pulsante. È il suo battito a tenere insieme un flusso che allaccia epoche e luoghi lontani, restituendo vita alle istantanee di questi ragazzi degli anni Trenta alle prese con la crisi economica, l’ascesa del nazismo, l’ostilità verso i rifugiati che in Francia colpiva soprattutto chi era ebreo e di sinistra, come loro. Ma per chi l’ha amata, quella giovinezza resta il tempo in cui, finché Gerda è vissuta, tutto sembrava ancora possibile.

The life of a female war photographer killed in action is told by three of her friends in this biographical novel by the author of Bloody Cow. Gerda Taro was a German-Jewish war photographer, anti-fascist activist, artist, and innovator who, together with her partner, the Hungarian Endre Friedmann, was one half of the alias Robert Capa, widely considered to be the twentieth century’s greatest war and political photographer. She was killed while documenting the Spanish Civil War and tragically became the first female photojournalist to be killed on a battlefield. August 1, 1937, Paris. Taro’s twenty-seventh birthday, and her funeral. Friedmann leads the procession. He is devastated, but there are others, equally bereft, with him: Ruth Cerf, Taro’s old friend from Leipzig with whom she fled to Paris; Willy Chardack, ex-lover; Georg Kuritzkes, another lover and a key figure in the International Brigades. They have all known a different Gerda, and one who is at times radically at odds with the heroic anti-fascist figure being mourned by the multitudes . . . Another character in the novel is the era itself, the 1930s, with economic depression, the rise of Nazism, hostility towards refugees in France, the century’s ideological warfare, the cultural ferment, and the ascendency of photography as the age’s quintessential art form. Winner of the Strega Prize, The Girl with the Leica is a must-read for fans of historical fiction centered on extraordinary women’s lives. “A biography, a feminist parable, a declaration of love for photography, and a tableau of the 1930s: The Girl with the Leica is all this at once.” —Il Sole 24 Ore (Italy) “Janeczek creatively and seamlessly spotlights war photographer Gerda Pohorylle.” —Publishers Weekly

This edited volume is the first to propose new readings of Italian and transnational female-authored texts through the lens of Trauma Studies. Illuminating a space that has so far been left in the shadows, Trauma Narratives in Italian and Transnational Women’s Writing provides new insights into how the trope of trauma shapes the narrative, temporal and linguistic dimension of these works. The various contributions delineate a landscape of female-authored Italian and transnational trauma narratives and their complex textual negotiation of suffering and pathos, from the twentieth century to the present day. These zones of trauma engender a new aesthetics and a new reading of history and cultural memory as an articulation of female creativity and resistance against a dominant cultural and social order.

The Strega Prize–winning author of The Girl with a Leica delivers a novel that hinges on one of the bloodiest World War II battles and those who fought it. In this highly original novel, Janeczek retells the four-month-long Battle of Monte Cassino from the point of view of the Maori, Gurkha, Polish, North African, small-town American and other Allied foot soldiers who fought and died under German fire near that 6th century Benedictine abbey. Twined through the battle is another story, a memory of the drowned and the saved in Janeczek’s own family in wartime Eastern Europe, where Jews who did not go to Nazi death camps went to Soviet gulag camps, and sometimes survived, and even went on to fight at Monte Cassino. A powerful reflection on all the ways that rights can be taken from us. “Helena Janeczek’s novel is this: a tattoo etched on the skin, and not painlessly. A vast design that brings together threads from all the various lives that converged in that legendary battle. The beauty of her tale lies in its structure, the way opposites converge: the chaos of battle and the silence of the defeated, ordinariness and the heroism of the powerless, carefully guarded memory and impetuous youth, the past perpetually intertwined with the present.” —Roberto Saviano, author of Gomorrah

This book explores the influence of Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Chekhov on Russian-born French language writer Irène Némirovsky. It considers the complexity of each of these relationships and the different modes in which they appear; demonstrating how, by skillfully integrating reading and writing, reception and creation, Némirovsky engaged with Russian literature within her own work. Through detailed analysis of the intersections between novels, short stories and archival sources, the book assesses to what degree Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Chekhov influenced Némirovsky, how this influence affected her work, and to what effects. To this aim the book articulates the notion of creative influence, a method that, in conversation with theories of influence, intertextuality, and reception aesthetics, seeks to reflect a “meeting of artistic minds” that includesaffective, ethical, and creative encounters between writers, readers, and researchers.

1997 tauchte in Mexiko ein alter Koffer auf- er enthielt drei Pappkartons mit Negativen. Das war die Stunde der Wieder-Entdeckung einer Fotografin, die sich Gerda Taro nannte. In Stuttgart geboren, floh sie vor den Nazis nach Paris. Dort begegnete sie Robert Capa, gemeinsam dokumentierten sie den Spanischen Bürgerkrieg. Sie bezahlte diesen Einsatz mit dem Leben. Zu ihrer Beerdigung in Paris kamen Zehntausende, Robert Capa, Louis Aragon und Pablo Neruda führten den Trauerzug an. Wer war diese ungewöhnliche junge Frau - die erste Kriegsfotografin weltweit? Helena Janeczek hat sie in diesem wunderbaren, preisgekrönten Roman nacherfunden und ihr ein bewegendes, weit über die sensationellen Fakten hinausreichendes, literarisches Denkmal gesetzt.

A prize-winning novel inspired by true WWII events. “An intense, moving book that tells the story of stories: what happens when Fascism befalls a country.” —Esquire (Italy) 1938. Thirty-two countries convene to decide how to deal with the influx of Jews fleeing Nazi Germany and Austria. Good intentions abound, but no government is willing to accept the refugees. At the same time, Fascist Italy is introducing its infamous racial laws. In this new, stirring novel Lia Levi portrays Italy’s tragic past through the story of a Jewish family, plagued by doubts, passions, weaknesses, impulses, and betrayals. Set in Genoa in the years of the racial laws, the novel follows a would-be genius son, a disappointed, regretful mother, a wise but irresolute father, an eccentric grandfather, nosy uncles, cousins who are always coming and going. How do individuals face the darkest periods of history? Will anyone rebel against the spread of violence and discrimination? Will anyone welcome them if this family flees certain persecution? A harrowing story that resonates with special urgency in our time. “Levi has a fluid style and a clear talent for storytelling.” —Kirkus Reviews “A gripping story of childhood during Fascism.” —Rai Cultura “The storytelling is vivid and accessible, engaging and compelling. Levi gives her readers an opportunity to immerse themselves in the day-to-day life of a family subject to the racial laws in Italy during Fascism.” —la Repubblica
