Summary: Invaluable to the Serious Student of Italian
Comment: I bought this book many years ago. The stories are short, between 5-20 pages each. They span many periods of history and is a great introduction to some of the great Italian writers.
Most of all, it really helps the Italian student bridge the gap between "classes" and "real Italian."
Although my speaking abilities were limited to an Intermediate Level, my classmates in a recent course I took thought that my vocabulary was tremendously large in comparison to their own.
I hold this book and another book by Penguin to be responsible. After reading these stories, I can read most anything in print and get the "gist" of what is being said.
Rating: 5
Summary: Highly recommended for serious students of Italian.
Comment: For the serious advanced student of Italian, I know of no better book to use as first step in exploring Italian literature. Translations are literal enough to give accurate correspondence to Italian, but literate enough to stand on their own in English as well: a marvelous achievement.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great source for studying Italian at intermediate level.
Comment: The short stories are entertaining, and they cover Italian writers from Machiavelli to Pirandello.
But the reason I bought this book is to study Italian. With Italian on the left and English on the right, this collection presents students with an easy way to build vocabulary and sample "literary" writing not found in regular textbooks.
Students should have at least an intermediary knowledge of Italian, in order to at least recognize the various past tenses employed.
