Italian Short Stories I » (Reprint)

The eight stories in this collection, by Moravia, Pavese, Pratolinin and other writers, have been selected as representative of twentieth-century Italian writing. The English translations provided are literal rather than literary, and there are notes to help the student of Italian. However, the volume can also be helpful to Italians, who can improve their English by studying a strict rendering of stories with which they may already be familiar.
