This outstanding selection of 12 short stories - most from the Sicilian writer's Vita dei campi (Rural Life) and Novelle rusticane (Rustic Stories) - attests to his storytelling skills.Selections include \"Nedda,\" a short story that initiated Verga's naturalistic depictions of Sicilian peasant life; the much-celebrated \"Cavalleria Rusticana\" (Rustic Chivalry), a tale of flirtation, jealousy, and a deadly duel; and \"L'amante di Gramigna\" (Gramigna's Mistress), a fascinating psychological study. The collection also features \"Reverie,\" \"Jeli the Herdsman,\" \"Nasty Redhead,\" \"The She-Wolf,\" \"Pestilential Air,\" \"Possessions,\" \"The History of St. Joseph's Donkey,\" \"Dark Bread,\" and \"Liberty.\"For this dual-language book, the editor has provided excellent new English translations on pages facing the original Italian text, as well as an informative Introduction and notes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51935239995680,"sku":"NEW0486419452","price":17.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/sicilian-stories-a-dual-language-book-dover-dual-language-italian-0486419452","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
