The winner of the 1950 Italy's prestigious Strega Prize. Two months later, Cesare Pavese took his own life in a hotel, leaving a brief note that encapsulated his lifelong themes of solitude and nihilism. His novella [The Beautiful Summer] explores the inevitable solitude faced by teenage Ginia through her experiences of love, desire, and betrayal. The summer symbolizes youthful passion yet also fleeting moments, leading to a cold awakening rather than joy. Korean edition translated by Yeol Lee.
